Question

Hold Harmless Release Forms

If a student's parent signs a hold-harmless release and the student is injured on the trip is the business that had the form actually protected?



Answer

Re: Hold Harmless Release Forms

Not sure what you mean by the "business that had the form".

Hold harmless releases are a cost-shifting mechanism that attempt to contractually disclaim liability for negligence, which really cannot be done, and parents cannot waive the CHILD's ability to sue for injuries caused by another party.

I don't have nearly enough information to say anything else here, but don't hesitate to ask for a referral if your child is injured.

Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
