Car Accident Liability Release Form
What Is a Car Accident Liability Release Form?
A Car Accident Liability Release Form is a document confirming that an agreement has been met and settled not within the system of law.
Alternate Names:
- Car Accident Release;
- Car Accident Release of Liability Form.
This is useful for events where a car accident has occurred and the involved parties may want to resolve this issue independently without involving the courts. By signing the document, it acts as confirmation that an agreement was reached and it acts as a safeguarding measure by ensuring that one of the parties does not open up a legal battle against the other party after the issue has been settled.
These kinds of forms do not only cover damages to the car but also include any injuries to the driver(s) or passenger(s). If the parties involved manage to find a way out without involving the court which can sometimes be expensive (depending on your insurance cover) and quite lengthy, they must sign this form for peace of mind.
