After all the awful stories on this site and everyone suggesting legal action... I am curious: can you actually sue someone for crashing into you? Don't you waive your right to sue the mountain when you buy a lift ticket? And if so, do you waive your rights to sue other skiers? Just curious.

No, you can't. Read the back of your lift ticket, it pretty much says you can't sue or be sued for skiing. It's a high risk activity.
 
y cant everyone just get along ppl who sue should get a life and a real job since most of em just want money
 
No you can sue, the back of the ticket says you can't sue the mountain but if some fucktard loses it you can sue them
 
exactly, the lift ticket says you cannt hold the employees or management of the mountain resposible for any injuries even if caused by negligence. therefor, you could sue someone that hit you
 
i read a article where a professional ballerina was skiing somewhere out west and some skier/snowboarder hit her and seroiusly injured her... she ended up sueing for like 8 million because she could no longer work
 
I had to testify in a trial where a Japinese tourist was drilled by a skier. He went into a coma and was completely fucked up. He sued the fuck out of the skier and the mountain. The skier was a racer who was participating in a downhill race that was put on by the mountain. He was freeskiing and not on the event trail. He was skiing with excessive speed and recklessly. I saw the whole thing happen. So the answer is in america yes you can
 
Waivers are such bull shit. My aunt and uncle were going to file a lawsuit against this tubing park that they took my cousins too. This story is very long so I won't go into it too much, but the tubing park was scared for their lives. They actually reached an agreement before it ever reached court.

My cousin got a second degree concussion and broke his arm. But what happened was, at the tubing park, all of the tubing lanes were funneled down into an area and sure enough someone crashed into my cousin as he was getting out of his tube.
 
Whistler got sued 8 million even though the back of the ticket clearly states that when you ride in freestyle terrain you take responsibility for any damage and injuries
 
the main purpose of a waiver is to scare people away from filing a lawsuit. Normally, waivers are thrown out of court from the start, and they hear the case.
 
if someone hits you, you can sue them. there shouldnt be any reason to sue unless you get hurt or break something expensive.
 
If you have a good fucking lawyer you can do anything you want a waiver doesn't mean shit it court it's not even a leagal document it. They just do that hoping you think you can't sue them but you can if you want and a good laywer will find a way to make it the ski hill's fault
 
u can, a ski patrol dude got a head injury from getting landed on by a snowboarder at whiteface and the boarder dude got sued like no other by his family
