With the school holidays in full swing, children across the UK are enjoying soft play centres, climbing frames and other outdoor activities. Many of these venues require parents to sign a disclaimer when you enter, but what does that mean for your legal rights if your child is injured on site?
Many people believe signing a disclaimer absolving the host of any liability for personal injury will prevent you from pursuing a legitimate claim if the accident could have been avoided. This is simply not true. If the venue is deemed to have been at fault, then you are still able to make a claim.
Perhaps the venue failed to carry out a basic risk assessment or didn’t fix some broken or unsafe equipment that caused the injury. It is always worth asking yourself: ‘could this accident have been prevented?’ If the answer is yes, take pictures to help support your claim.
