Overview

Also known as General Liability Waivers, a General Release of Liability discharges and releases an individual or business from claims or causes of action arising from a specific incident or activity in exchange for a cash payment or asset. 

General Releases are often used by companies offering activities that involve a risk of injury, such as horseback riding, bungee jumping, or skydiving. They can also be used in situations where the parties want to settle outside of the courts, such as after car accidents, to ensure all legal claims are released by their private agreement. 

General Releases can be used to protect a party from liability for typical injuries reasonably related to or stemming from the activity contemplated when signing the release. General Releases usually will not protect against a party’s negligence, or from incidents or injuries unrelated to the subject activity.
