COVID-19 Liability Waiver

A COVID-19 Liability Waiver is meant to protect businesses as they reopen during the coronavirus pandemic. So far, only a few states have enacted liability limits or immunity from lawsuits related to COVID-19. By having your customers sign a waiver, in addition to protecting your business, your customers can be assured that you are taking the proper precautions to prevent the spread of infection. The enforceability of waivers in general are a matter of state law. If you have any questions, it is suggested that you speak with an attorney.

Use the COVID-19 Liability Waiver document if:

• You are a business owner who wants to protect your business as you reopen 
• You own a business that involves close contact with people and offer services that are not social-distancing compliant
• You have reopened your business and want customers to know what safety precautions your business has implemented

Businesses should follow the proper safety measures as required by state and local officials, and not use the COVID-19 Liability Waiver as a blanket waiver. The waivers are to limit or prevent certain forms of liability like common negligence. Gross negligence, such as failure to take proper safety precautions regarding COVID-19 infections, is not protected by this waiver.
