Realizing Assumption of Risk in Personal Injury Cases
What is Assumption of Risk?
Assumption of Risk is a legal doctrine that may come into play in personal injury cases, especially those involving accidents or injuries on another person’s property, at events, or during recreational activities. It refers to the concept that individuals are aware of and willing to accept the risks involved in certain activities, and therefore cannot hold others liable for injuries sustained during these activities.
Key Aspects of Assumption of Risk
Express versus Implied Assumption of Risk
– Express Assumption of Risk: This occurs when an individual explicitly agrees to accept the risks associated with a particular activity, often by signing a waiver or consent form.
– Implied Assumption of Risk: In some cases, individuals may be deemed to have implicitly assumed the risks by engaging in an activity with known inherent dangers, even without signing a formal waiver.
Comparative Negligence and Assumption of Risk
– Comparative negligence is another legal concept that may impact personal injury cases. In states that adhere to comparative negligence principles, the injured party’s recovery may be reduced in proportion to their own degree of fault. This can intersect with assumption of risk if the injured party’s actions are deemed to have contributed to their own injuries.
Assumption of Risk and Negligence Lawsuits
When assumption of risk is raised as a defense in a negligence lawsuit, the defendant is essentially arguing that the injured party voluntarily exposed themselves to a known risk, and therefore the defendant should not be held liable for resulting injuries.
