43 | The Missing Piece in Most Waivers

About this episode

Cory discusses the importance of comprehensive waivers in protecting businesses from liability during community events.

Most waivers aren’t the problem—it’s what they don’t include that creates risk. In this episode, Cory shares a real story from a community event where a participant was injured—and why the waiver didn’t fully protect the business. Why This Matters A waiver only works if it clearly covers the actual activities, risks, and environment. If something happens outside what’s written, your protection may not hold up. Key Takeaways ✔️ Waivers must match the exact activities you’re offering ✔️ Location and environment risks must be included ✔️ Different services = different waivers ✔️ Waivers should always be separate from other agreements Cory’s Legal Pro Tip “A waiver doesn’t protect your business in general—it only protects what it specifically describes.” 🎧 Want to make sure your waiver actually protects you?
