With the Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability template, you can easily inform clients of any potential risks of the work you'll do together and safeguard your practice against any potential legal disputes.
Not every wellness discipline requires a legal document like the Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability form, but if your work includes any inherent risk at all, it's better to be safe now than sorry later.
Good healthcare involves clients and patients understanding the advantages, risks, and alternatives of any treatment or recommendation. While informed consent is always an ongoing process, liability forms and waivers can help you provide structure to, and help you record, your conversations about risk.
You may be part of a regulated profession and have a license, or you might have responsibilities to your professional association. A waiver template allows you to tailor forms to your profession’s needs. If you’re unsure of your requirements, seek legal guidance.
Ultimately, it's up to you to make the judgment call on whether your practice presents enough inherent risk that you feel legal protection is warranted. If you're at all in doubt, it may benefit you to err on the side of caution.
