What's the safety policy in an employment contract?

I recently accepted a job offer from a new employer and as part of the employment contract, I need to understand the safety policy in the workplace. I understand that safety policies in the workplace are important for the protection of both employees and employers, but I am not sure of the specific details of the safety policy included in my employment contract.

Liability Waiver

Texas

Asked on Nov 27, 2023

Is a liability waiver binding on heirs?

I recently inherited a business from a family member and I am looking to create a liability waiver for the business. I want to make sure that the waiver is binding on the heirs of the business in the event that the business is passed down. I want to make sure that any potential liabilities are not passed on to future generations of the family.

J.R. S.

Answered Jan 5, 2024

A liability waiver can indeed be binding on heirs if the language of the waiver expressly includes heirs or assigns. However, the binding nature of a waiver on heirs could be affected by several factors. Administrative regulations such as 1 TAC § 373.209 and statutes like V.T.C.A., Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.021 and V.T.C.A., Special Districts Code § 8502.020 stipulate conditions under which heirs can assert claims, which could potentially affect the binding nature of a waiver on heirs. Finally, the enforceability of such waivers can be influenced by whether the instrument is recorded or not, as per V.T.C.A., Property Code § 13.001. In summary, while a liability waiver can be binding on heirs, the enforceability of such waivers can be influenced by various factors, including the specific language of the waiver, the termination of the contract, administrative regulations or statutes, and whether the instrument is recorded or not. I recommend having a discussion with an attorney and have them draft the language to achieve your goal.

LLC Articles of Organization

Texas

Asked on Oct 25, 2023

What is LLC formation?

I am in the process of starting a business and am looking to protect my personal assets from any potential liabilities of the business. I have heard that setting up a LLC can help with this, but I am not sure what it entails. I am looking to learn more about LLC formation and to understand the benefits and drawbacks of this type of business structure.

Jimmy V.

Answered Nov 21, 2023

LLC formation means the process by which one sets up an LLC. The process begins with a filing with the state. The filing is usually called Articles of Organization. The LLC must then adopt an Operating Agreement which is much like a partnership agreement. Finally, the LLC will need to obtain an Employer Identification Number from the IRS.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
