Question for lawyers: Would signing a waiver make a difference in regards to sports?

I guess it would have to be signed by parents as high school students are too young to sign.
What I am getting at is schools, organizations probably are nervous about having complete liability.
Would waivers help in that regard?

Sorry, but Jaxson isn't winning any "world series" rings this summer.

Louisiana Civil Code article 2004 is worth a read.

Waivers in advance of a negligent act are null in Louisiana.
But who would you sue and how would you prove it? Covid cases are losers IMO.

I’ve always been told signed waivers mean nothing until something is signed after the incident. I’m not a lawyer, just heard that from a family member that works in insurance.

Waivers for personal damage are completely null and void in Louisiana

Yep. The plaintiffs’ bar will wipe its arse with that waiver.

Lol...I’m this fricking state?! You could sign a million documents and video yourself saying you don’t hold anyone accountable and the legal system in the dumb fricking state would still award damages.

I think you can waive damages for your own negligence, but waivers for someone else’s negligence are null.
So, it’s a useless document. Indemnity agreements are where it’s at, sometimes.

How could I waive damages for my own negligence? Am I going to sue myself?
You can waive economic damages not personal injury liability.
If you go to a skate rink and sign a waiver that waives their liability for personal and property damage and then one of their employees negligently breaks your leg while another leaves your locker open and your wallet gets stolen, you will be able to recover for the broke leg but not for the stolen wallet.

All questions to OT lawyers can be answered as follows: depends what the scumbag judge(Chip Moore, Janice Clark, etc.) or angry fricktard jury says.

I have always been told a good lawyer could wipe his arse with a waiver if needed.

Could they not argue that failure to social distance/wash hands/etc., or choosing to attend if you have underlying health issues, is your own negligence?
Not a lawyer, but I don’t understand how a business can be liable for a customer catching a virus from another customer in the first place, assuming they are operating in compliance with all applicable regulations. I can understand how an employee might have a case, but a customer?
Feels like the equivalent of a freshman catching the herp and then filing a lawsuit against Reggie’s. But maybe I’m oversimplifying it.

It’s really sad that people like you want kids to return to “sports” and spread the virus when people of size that can’t play sports are who’s dying from the virus
