Where can I find a Release from Liability form to allow kids to play in my yard w/o get sued if they get hurt?

Question

I have neighborhood children that like to play in my yard and I would welcome them, but I'm afraid that if they get hurt, I could get sued. I was told that I could get a Release from Liability form, but I'm not having any luck finding one. Help?? I just want to be safe not sorry.

Answer 1

nothing can stop someone from sueing you. Have homeowners insurance.

Answer 2

You should be prepared to help the injured child if the child gets hurt. That is exactly what insurance is put in place for. Having insurance is suppose to protect you from being sorry. Those release of liability will not hold if you are doing something illegal just like insurance as well as if they can prove you were doing something that would be sure to hurt them.

Answer 3

Sounds like you want your cake and eat it too.

If you are so worried about being sued, put a fence up around your yard with a gate and tell the kids to stay out. A simple "no trespassing" sign would also be a good idea.

Answer 4

That is why people need Homeowner's or Renter's insurance. This is to protect the homeowner or renter in case of accidents, however, this insurance will not cover injury on everything. My mom's cousin tripped and broke her arm on a log barrier at my parent's home and because it was not something that was just dropped by mistake and she happened to get hurt on it, the renter's insurance would not cover it.

Answer 5

You will NOT find any such release form even if you did it would NOT be binding, the only way to protect your self is not to allow kids on your property, And that's why we have home owners insurance.

Answer 6

If you did do that, you would need their parents to sign it, not the children.
