What happens when a child is injured due to someone else’s negligence?
I’m signing my son up for football and i have to sign a liability waiver so he can play. As an attorney, I know that any liability release or waiver a parent signs for their child is completely void and unenforceable. How many parents don’t pursue claims for their children because they mistakenly believe the liability waiver is valid?
Also, a child has a lot longer than an adult in most states to file a lawsuit. The statute of limitation is suspended for a period of time.
Finally, a child’s settlement must be approved by a judge. The money for a child can be invested until the child turns 18 so the child can pay for college. This is done through a structured settlement.
So if your child gets hurt, call an attorney to find out what rights your child has even if a liability waiver has been signed.
