If you signed this waiver, you may only be able to hold the company liable in these instances.
- The bounce house was damaged
- A component of the bounce house was defective
- The bounce house was improperly set up
A defective bounce house may also lead to a lawsuit against the bounce house manufacturer. In this situation, you may have a claim against the bounce house rental company for renting a defective item, and the bounce house manufacturer for manufacturing a dangerous product.
If the bounce house was located at a public venue such as a local fair or festival, you might be able to file a claim against the festival management for failure to properly supervise the bounce house. There are some general child injury prevention tips that parents should consider before sending kids off to play in public places. However, many festivals have waivers or clauses in place to absolve them from any lawsuits claiming negligence because of lack of supervision.
Finally, if the bounce house was set up at a private residence such as a neighbor's house, you may be able to file a claim against the homeowner for failure to supervise the bounce house.
