The reason is that those contracts are not tailored to your specific needs, nor are they written by an attorney who can defend them on your behalf. Seth shares his experience in drafting his own agreements, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that the terms, particularly around liability, are clear.

A great summary from one of the best in the business, Ken Broda-Bahm, Ph.D.: a lengthy discussion of remedial measures taken following an incident (in this instance, a traumatic injury) may solidify jurors' beliefs in a defendants' liability.

Precision matters! 3️⃣ Know your limits: Define the maximum liability to avoid surprises. 💡 Pro Tip: Tailor the clause to suit your specific needs and industry standards! #LegalInsights #ContractsMatter #BusinessTips #LegalTalk
