Satisfactory Essays

On August 25, 2017, our client Dawn Vega came to our office for seeking advice on whether she has a legal claim against Russ Jones for her injuries caused by a horse, named Nelly. April 8, 2017, Saturday morning, Vega went to Rodrigo's Stables at Round Rock, Texas with her friends for the horseback ride. There, she met Russ Jones, who is the owner of Rodrigo's Stables. Vega found Jones very friendly. There, Jones gave Vega a waiver form to sign and she signed the waiver. The waiver states that "WARNING UNDER TEXAS LAW (CHAPTER 87, CIVIL PRACTICE AND REMEDIES CODE), A FARM ANIMAL PROFESSIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR AN INJURY TO OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT IN FARM ANIMAL ACTIVITIES RESULTING FROM THE INHERENT RISKS OF FARM ANIMAL ACTIVITIES."
