Assumption of risk is when a person willingly continues with an activity knowing that there are risks involved. Assumption of risk is used in liability cases to show that the person willingly put themselves in harms way and that the person/company they are suing is not at fault. Common “dangerous” activities include, skiing, rock climbing, going to Burning man (for there may be a chance that you could get burned), scuba diving and many more. The assumption of risk does not rule out your case, if you believe that there was negligence you should still seek legal advice.
