Get your release right.

August 18, 2008 by Zale.

Here’s another recent Tennessee Supreme Court case that is worth noting.  The situation is that employer has someone working for them.  They have them sign a very simple release regarding on the job injuries.   However, it specifically stated “…if I am running business or personal errands…”. Well, there’s was the rub.  Since this person was injured while doing office work and not while running errands, the release did not apply.  I suspect that this release form was not written by an attorney.  Had this release been written by an attorney, the business owner would have stood a much better chance of escaping liability.
