How to waive property damage and personal injury liability for minors.?

[ezri]

If I'm a minor, and I'm doing small jobs (lets say, hanging Christmastime lights for a neighbor) and I want to protect myself from them suing my parents or me for any damages that may occur, or protect them from having to pay for any self injury that may occur to me wail I am working, is there a waiver or contract of some sort that can protect me and my client from both of those things without having to pay for insurance?

Much appreciated :)

Yes. You can have them sign a waiver saying as much. Also, fun fact, parents are not liable for the torts (personal injury or property damage) of their children. Generally these are drafted by lawyers, but for something small like this, you can simply write a note that says the above and have the client sign it. Unfortunately, as a minor, you cannot legally waive harm that may come to you because minors cannot bind themselves to a contract.
