Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia
waiver forms
I am opening a new childrens party place where children will come for birthday parties and a couple of days will be open to the public. We will have the inflatable bounce houses, slides, and obstacle courses all inside our location. Which waiver form from your forms website should I order? Thank You

Re: waiver forms
It would be dangerous to open a business and hope that a generic online waiver form would be of much help.
No form will eliminate all liability and you need to have good business insurance. You also should pay a lawyer to draft contracts and waivers that at least will help protect you.
Call me if we can be of assistance in doing that for you.
Re: waiver forms
Easy answer. None of them. It would be very shortsighted (an understatement) to start a business catering to children, with activities carrying a relatively high risk of injuries, and then put the business at risk by using generic forms from a website. See a lawyer experienced in starting up similar businesses to get everyhing handled correctly from the beginning. One final note - your post went to lawyers, who have nothing to do with forms for sale on lawguru.
Re: waiver forms
A generic form is unlikely to protect you. Furthermore, you will need guidance related to the manner in which the form is used. Other precautions related to your business conduct will also need to be developed. Please feel free to contact my firm in the event that you want to employ legal assistance.
Re: waiver forms
I will add another thought. Just as it is important to not trust an important issue (in fact, THE important issue for your business) to a web form, for similar you should also have it handled by a lawyer who practices in the area of start-up businesses or small business. It is a much better option, perhaps for the same fee, than choosing someone who may offer services in any number of unrelated areas to get you in the door. Check websites, ask for referrals. Your investment may be returned the first time a child falls and gets a cut or scrape.
