Can you sue somebody if you signed a paper saying that you can't sue them for any reason?
The reason I ask is because I didn't think you could be stopped from suing anybody.
Answers:
Those things never usually hold up in court, it is just a deterrent. It is the same with parking in a lot with signs that say they are not responsible for your vehicle, always take your parking ticket with you and don't leave it in the car, if your car is stolen, they are responsible for your car.
You cannot sign away your rights.
only if you can prove that you signed the paper due to threats or coercion.
Would need to know the exact language used in this contract and know who the parties involved are. It depends on the situation. You cannot be bound to such contracts if you are a minor though.
if ur a minor no contract like that is binding,and some times there r ways 2 get around things like that,depends on what it actually says.
If you signed a legal document (for example with an employer in getting severance) where you waved your right to sue, then you cannot sue.
well yeah probably
That paper which you signed is not enforceable anyway because it is against the law. When someone did harm to you, suing him is in order even if for some reason, you signed a document waiving your right to sue that person. This is different from a situation where you signed a release form after reaching an agreement as to compensation for damages suffered.
No. This is called a "hold harmless clause."
They are well crafted to prevent lawsuits. Usually, if the person files suit despite this clause, there are provisions in the document that call for the moving party to pay the other party's legal fees if the suit fails. Which, usually, it does.
Hope this helps.
yes you can depending on the conditions of the signing.
The law has set a guide for Appeals in any isue. And there are courts that will hear any case if approached with the right attitude and case.
The law is to make you Whole only though. So if your intention is only to harm someone good luck. But if you suffered damages, yes go after them full blast.
you cannot enter into an illegal contract. So if someone does something that is illegal, they cannot 'trump the law' by having someone sign away their rights.
If you sign a release and it is enforceable, then indeed you can.
It's routinely used as a condition of settlement payments, and in other contexts.
well you need to get something out of the deal...if there is no consideration on your part.it is not a valid binding contract...he got the privilege of not being sued...what did you get...if you got someting, you have a contract and cant sue...if you didnt youmay have wiggle room
Actually, there are a lot of settlements that people agree to that include signing away rights, but they only apply to that same matter or incident. For example, if you slip and fall in a Safeway and break your leg -- and sue them for having a slippery floor, then you settle for $10,000, they can make you sign something (before they give you that check) that says you won't sue them again for the same thing. So if you realise a year or so later that you also have back problems and a doctor says they're from that fall, you can't go back and sue Safeway again.
However, if you go back to Safeway and get food poisioning from their salad bar a year later, you can sue them again. See the difference?
