WaiverSign Explores Protecting Businesses with Properly Worded Waivers & the Right Insurance

SALT LAKE CITY - Aug. 3, 2022 - PRLog -- Taking shortcuts when it comes to managing the risks inherent in a business can lead to long roads of aggravation and perhaps even long legal battles ending in bankruptcy.

That's the bad news. The good news is that taking the time to focus on the details now can help preclude disasters later.

WaiverSign, a paperless, digital system for gathering and storing signed online waivers (https://www.waiversign.com/), recently hosted a webinar to help businesses understand the importance of a properly worded waiver carefully paired with a specific insurance policy. For the entire recorded webinar please see https://www.waiversign.com/webinar/protect-your-business

The upshot of the webinar? Security rests in the details. Using a generic waiver or a waiver copied from another company could torpedo a business.

"We are concerned about businesses taking shortcuts when it comes to putting together a proper waiver," said Brandon Lake, CEO of WaiverSign. "For a small investment, a business can potentially avoid lawsuits and legal costs with waivers that are tailored to the specific risks specific inherent in a particular business.  A properly worded waiver needs to be supported by an insurance policy that fills in potential gaps which the wording in the waiver may not cover."

Panelist Max Goodman, Partner at the law firm, SmithAmundsen, LLC headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, advised: "The copy/paste method of securing a waiver may fall short in the event of a lawsuit. A judge will only consider a waiver if it's near perfect.  The waiver needs to line up perfectly with specific unique risks and dangers and it needs to align to a specific location and the laws of city and state. Avoid using free, online waivers that are general, offer zero protection, and fail to warn of specific risks."
