Liability Waiver

Texas

Asked on Nov 26, 2023

What if the liability waiver is unclear?

I recently signed a liability waiver for a recreational activity. However, the language of the waiver is vague and unclear in certain areas. I am concerned that I may be held liable for something that was not originally intended in the waiver. I am looking for advice on how to protect myself from potential liabilities that may arise if the waiver is not clear.

Generally speaking, the purpose of a waiver is to limit the liability of landowners in certain situations for recreational purposes and tends to be binding, whether the signor understands the language or not. I would need more specific information in order to assess if liability might be determined, even with a vague or ambiguous waiver, especially if you or others suffered from injuries incurred during recreational activities. Further research into case law and statutory provisions specifically dealing with the interpretation and enforcement of liability waivers would be necessary to fully answer your question.

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.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
