☀️ Summer is here – and with it comes boating, amusement parks, water sports, and all kinds of fun in the sun! But before jumping in, many venues may ask you to sign a waiver.
Did you know? Signing a waiver doesn’t always mean you’ve given up your right to take legal action if you get hurt.
Here’s what you should know:
✅ A signed waiver does NOT always block a legal claim. ✅ If a business is negligent, like having broken equipment, untrained staff, or ignoring safety rules, you may still have a case. ✅ In New York, waivers aren’t always enforceable, especially for paid activities. ✅ In New Jersey, waivers have to follow strict rules and can’t excuse serious safety failures.
🎯 Bottom line: Waivers don’t give businesses a free pass when they drop the ball on safety.
