Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Skate boarding equipment
My son wants to build some small skate
boarding ramps and boxes to ''grind''
on. We are not talking about the 15
foot high ramps and half pipes, but 3-4
foot high. My question is my liability if
one of his friends injures himself on the
equipment. Does a waiver signed by
the friends protect us? Do we need
extra insurance? Can we get sued, even
though we have signed waivers?

Re: Skate boarding equipment
You should get insurance. A waiver will not work here for two reasons. First, a minor cannot enter into this type of contract. Second, waivers rarely save anyone from a lawsuit, which brings me to your last inquiry. Yes, you can get sued. In fact, if someone injures him/herself while "grinding", you can hedge your bets that you will be receiving a letter of representation from an attorney.
Good luck.
