Yes, a waiver of liability is very important in helping to protect your liability in the event that someone sustains an injury. It can be an absolutely integral part of your ability to limit your exposure to risk and getting sued. And most importantly, it communicates the risks and the activities that you're doing with your participants. So everyone's on the same page before you begin.
A waiver actually works in a couple of ways: 1.) before a lawsuit is filed during the demand letter stage, a waiver of liability would be shown to a complainant to demonstrate that they actually cannot bring a lawsuit because legally they are unable to because they've already signed away their legal rights or they've relinquished their legal rights.
In the event that something would escalate and go to court, or some form of tribunal, the waiver of liability would be included as evidence to support that the person understood they knew what they were doing, what the risks were, and that they could suffer injuries from the activity.
The most important thing for a waiver of liability (for yoga instruction) is that it has all of the elements of a waiver of liability included and that it's as specific as possible, to the way that the services are offered, and the equipment that's used, and all the different types of yoga that is being done.
It is not okay to copy a yoga waiver from another source. A waiver is like a seatbelt. It can only protect you if it's professionally installed - if someone else copies a waiver of liability that's not specific to your activities and your needs and may not have all of the elements of a waiver, it’s as good as not using one at all.
No, you would not need a different waiver based on the state but you do have to make sure that the document is drafted to be state specific.
Yes, your waivers for your yoga classes should differ based on the services offered.
No, your waiver should always be separate, full stop, no question. The waiver should always be a separate document.
Yes, you can talk to an attorney without spending a lot of money. It depends what attorney you find and what their focus is in, but always make sure that you get a clear understanding of what a conversation will cost you.
