Plaintiff and defence counsel alike will benefit from attending. \n\n\nAbout the Program\nIf you’re a member of a fitness club or a recreational sports league\, or have a school-aged child\, liability waivers are a fact of life. Questions about the validity and enforceability of waivers are common\, both from activity operators seeking to protect themselves from negligence claims and from patrons who signed a waiver and were subsequently injured. Challenges to waivers\, and the defence of claims involving the interpretation of waivers\, require careful analysis of a number of variables. \nThis webinar features Ryan Morasiewicz\, experienced outdoor/adventure and personal injury litigator\, as well as a mountain Search and Rescue volunteer. Ryan will introduce general practitioners\, corporate counsel\, and other non-personal injury specialists to this discrete area. Topics include the insurance context in which a liability waiver operates\, requirements of a valid waiver (both style/substance and administration)\, challenges to enforceability or validity of waivers\, and the special case of minors and related consent acknowledgement of risk forms. Ryan will provide a broad perspective of relevant cases and statutes across Canada. \nYou’ll leave with a better understanding of the purpose of waivers\, what participants are being asked to give up when they sign a waiver\, and tools available to recreational providers to insulate themselves from and defend personal injury claims. Attend this course and help your clients better manage the legal risks that are part of their everyday lives. \n\n\nMeet Your Presenter\nRyan W.
