Legal Term
equine therapy session waiver participant injury liability
Legal Definition
The legal responsibility for injuries sustained by participants during equine-assisted therapy sessions, as governed by liability waivers that participants sign to acknowledge risks and potentially release providers from negligence-based claims, subject to exceptions for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
In Plain English
This refers to who is legally at fault if someone gets hurt during horse therapy, and how the waiver they sign can limit the therapy provider's liability.
Example in a Contract
Participant hereby acknowledges the inherent risks of equine activities, including but not limited to being stepped on, kicked, or thrown, and voluntarily assumes all such risks. Participant releases and discharges [Equine Therapy Center] from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action arising from injuries incurred during sessions, except those resulting from the Center's gross negligence or intentional acts.
