Liability Release Form Template

Liability release forms are widely used by individuals and corporations to exempt themselves from being deemed responsible for a mishap or damage. In this article, we will provide you with some sample liability release forms.

Liability release forms are used by a lot of individuals/companies to protect their interests, and prevent themselves, or their employees/partners from being sued by plaintiffs. In the event of a legal trial, the liability release form is used as an evidence to prove that a plaintiff had wishfully, and without any pressure, or compulsion, entered into a contract/agreement with the defendant.

In most cases, liability release forms are used by companies involved in recreational activities, such as swimming, bungee jumping, skydiving, scuba diving, to name a few. Today, even educational institutions request foreign students to sign a liability waiver, so that the college is not held responsible for the damages caused due to political, social, economic, and other factors. Before you take a look at some sample liability release forms, it is important that you read the below-mentioned points.

A release of liability is an indication in writing that the signatory has clearly understood the terms and conditions of the transaction, or activity. Thus, the person requesting the release is assured of being exempt from a litigation resulting from the signatory’s informed and consensual acts.
Liability release forms must be in compliance with the state laws. To be held valid in every aspect, the form has to be free from any discrepancies.
It is advisable to take the help of an insurer for drafting a liability release form. The insurer would be able to lend his understanding and expertise for the task.
After the initial draft is created, it is advisable to forward the same to an attorney, so that necessary amendments can be made.
