  • Should You Sign A Business's COVID-19 Liability Waiver?

    Legal experts weigh in on what you could be giving up, and what may not be enforceable.

    The coronavirus pandemic comes with new risks. Is a COVID-19 liability waiver one more risk you should take on?

    As businesses continue to reopen throughout the United States, more gyms, salons, schools and other employers are asking people who enter their buildings and work within their spaces to sign COVID-19 liability waivers.

    Considering the coronavirus is known to spread from people being in close contact with one another, these liability waivers can come with their own conditions, but they typically ask consumers to recognize this risk and release the business of responsibility if a person contracts COVID-19.

    Keep in mind that by asking you to sign this liability waiver, a business is also showing you exactly where their priorities are with workers’ safety.
