What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana resident.
Friends of ours have private property on a lake. They and other family members have seasonal homes there and a seperate cabin they rent out. This includes access to fishing, boating, ATV etc. This year they have requested that all guests to the property sign a release form. The release states that if you are hurt or killed while using or even in the vacinity of a boat, water, ATV, etc that you will not sue them. My husband plans to sign the document as he fishes there on a regular basis and doesn't want to give that up. I however rarely go and when I do, I don't want to sign my rights away due to someone else's neglect. If I (or my husband) do something stupid and are hurt or killed, that is on us. But if I am minding my own business and am struck by someone else on the property I may feel differently. Will I have any recourse when all is said and done or should I just sign the release and make my husband happy?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
