Sports Liability Waivers: Can You Still Claim After an Injury?

A sports liability waiver is a document that you may be asked to sign before taking part in a sporting or leisure activity with a high level of risk, such as trampolining, ziplining, or even football. Organisers use these waivers to manage financial risk and draw attention to key health and safety requirements. A well-drafted waiver will include an "assumption of risk" clause asking you to recognise that sports like rugby or rock climbing have natural dangers, acknowledge that you are taking the associated risks willingly, and accept that the operator or organiser is not liable for any accidents that might arise as a result.
