INSURANCE LIABILITY WAIVER The Lake Bluff Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner
possible and holds the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must
recognize however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Lake Bluff Park District continually strives
to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants’ safety. Please
recognize that the Lake Bluff Park District does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program
fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own health insurance
policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make the Lake Bluff Park District automatically responsible for
payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for the District REQUIRES
the execution of the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully and be aware in participating in the
program(s) listed above, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of this program.
WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS As a participant in the program, I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury and
I agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, including death, damages or loss regardless of severity which I may sustain as a result of participating in any and
all activities connected with or associated with such program (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided). I agree to waive and
relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program against the District and its officers, agents, servants and employees. I do hereby fully
release and discharge the District and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damage or loss which
I may have or which may accrue to me on account of my participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the District and its officers,
agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages and losses sustained by me or arising out of, connected with,
or in any way associated with the activities of the program.
PERMISSION TO SECURE TREATMENT In the event of emergency, I authorize District officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or
medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care and I agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services
required. I have read and fully understand the aforementioned Program Details, Waiver and Release of All Claims and Permission to Secure Treatment. (Note:
Please sign in an appropriate space below.)
I have carefully read the insurance liability waiver on this page, and I understand that my signature is required below in order
to participate in Lake Bluff Park District programs.
