Is checking a box to absolve Trump campaign for any illness resulting from the rally legally binding?
Fred Whitfield
I don't know what Fred has to do with anything on this, but I know it's moot.
It's legally binding for anybody who is attending the rally without any pressure to do so - that it, most rally attendees. Any employee, staff member, or the like can sign the form from now til election day and in Oklahoma, at least, it will not be binding. It is also not binding in cases of negligence. If the person signs it and gets sick because the Trump team failed to vet a worker, then the waiver holds no water.
But beyond that, the form is not binding on wives, children, or colleagues. If Max gets sick and gives it to his wife, 99, she can sue Trump's campaign and the arena. If he dies, his heirs can sue.
They are not protected much.
While the Trump campaign is beyond reckless, and seems to be indifferent to the health and safety of their supporters, and seems to be sponsorinfg a super-spreader event, good luck legally proving you caught the virus at a specific time or place.
