As a sole proprietor if I draw up liability release forms for customers to sign, does this transfer liability?

Question

Meaning, once the customer puts their signature on the release form, I'm legally relieved of any liabilities. And, they become responsible for their product.

Note: I'm in the business of Assembly.

Answer 1

You had better have the release form reviewed by your attorney first, and probably your liability insurance carrier as well. But no release is 100% airtight. Even if you have in the release wording which exactly describes the injury sustained, and the signatures are valid and everything, an attorney who represents someone who signed a release and then was injured is duty-bound to examine said release for loop-holes.

There's no such thing as guaranteed in this business.
