Businesses Are Not Protected By Parent's Waiver Of Child's Claim
Boundaries 06/22/2010

In Woodman v. Kera, L.L.C., ____ Mich ____ (2010), the Michigan Supreme Court held that a parent's pre-injury liability waiver signed on behalf of their child is unenforceable under Michigan law. Businesses can no longer rely upon a parental waiver for liability protection if a child is injured on the premises.
