Remember the old line , you better read it before you sign it. That applies in Tennessee personal injury accident cases . Often , one is asked to sign a " Waiver and Release of Liabilty " form before some types of activities . I know I do when my son plays paintball in Spring Hill , Tennessee . It is often a form that the person says here sign and you do not think anything about it until something goes wrong . Tennessee Courts have traditionally upheld the waviers in certain cases . However , the courts have established a test to determine if the liability wavier is invalid . The most recent case is Henderson v. Quest Expeditions . One thought is can a parent waive liabilty for their child . Post a comment if you need any more information .
