Event Planning Legal Questions and Answers

Event Planning

Liability Waiver

California

Asked on Nov 25, 2023

Does every event need a liability waiver?

I am an event planner and I am in the process of planning an event. I am aware that liability waivers can be used to protect against legal action if an accident or injury occurs during the event. I am wondering if it is necessary to have a liability waiver for every event, regardless of the size or type of event. I am trying to determine the best way to ensure the safety of my guests and myself.

Luiza D.

Answered Dec 1, 2023

In California, using liability waivers for events is a common practice to help protect organizers from legal claims arising from injuries or damages that may occur during the event. However, whether an organizer needs a liability waiver, or not, for every event depends on various factors, including the type of event, the potential risks involved, and local regulations. Some events, especially those involving physical activities or potential hazards, may have a higher risk of injuries, making liability waivers more advisable. However, even for lower-risk events, organizers may choose to use liability waivers as an extra layer of protection. It's essential to consult with a California lawyer who is familiar with the local regulations of where the event will take place to determine whether a liability waiver is necessary for your specific event and what language to include in the waiver.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

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.
