In Zackary Diamond v. Scott Schweitzer, et al., California Court of Appeal recently addressed whether a broad release and waiver of liability form, signed by a patron to a racing event as a prerequisite to gaining access to the pit area, released the racetrack’s owners from alleged negligence claims arising from an injury sustained as a result of a punch by a third party.  The Court of Appeal confirmed that the waiver and release protected the racetrack’s owners from such claims and affirmed summary judgment in their favor.
