Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
liability release for a school fundraising event
Our parent association is hosting a scavenger hunt around our community. People will compete in tasks, some physical and will be using their own transpotation. We know we need to have all the contestants sign a release to not hold liable our PA,the school or any of the sponsors. We are non-profit and currently have no funds to pay an attorney to write something for us, so we need advise to do it on our own.

A release may not be enough, make sure you have insurance.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.
We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.
