Does anyone have a form or disclaimer/contract set up that i may be able to use. I am possibly going to do a lift on someone's truck and I wanted to make sure i have him sign a disclaimer so that I am not liable for anything. Anything will work, i just need a start, i can edit it once I get something to go off of. thanks

Although I would follow through with the form, I seriously doubt you will remove yourself from liability.
Very simply, if you do something and it is clearly your fault and a safety issue arises I have to think you will be liable.

I understand and like I said, I would also have him sign it. At least he will realize that some sort of risk comes in the lifting of his truck.
Good luck to you...

I have one I use for work...email me.
edited: If there is neglect, you may still be liable. A disclaimer simply informs the acknowledger that you are making him aware of a problem that you KNOW exists, in writing.

We have ways of getting around those forms. 
They're great psychological tools--folks think they're iron.

Adam,
We know they are not iron. But we know it doesn't hurt to inform a client, in writing, that a problem exists.

Contact an attorney while your free of ANY problems ... take their advise.

haha, actually, I'm not a teacher anymore (I write text books now for a well-known publisher), but I believe the statement would be "she's a teacher, teachers are too poor to sue" :lol:
Regardless, Josh's work has held up the test, but even if it hadn't, I wouldn't sue. I was well aware of what he was doing (heck, I helped) and also the possible implications.
I truly believe petty lawsuits are a large portion of what is wrong with society today. Common sense should kick in. If you ask someone, either a friend or aquaintance (someone who's professional job is not what you ask) to do something, then YOU assume the responsibility that the something is done to your standards. Paying for a certified, professional service is another story.
