Meyer v. Naperville Manner, Inc.
Illinois Appellate Court
634 N.E.2d 411 (1994)
- Written by Jody Stuart, JD
Facts
Alicia Meyer (plaintiff), a minor, took horse-riding classes at the riding school of Naperville Manner, Inc. (Naperville) (defendant). When Alicia began the classes, her mother, Eileen Meyer, signed a waiver of liability dated May 2, 1991. The waiver stated that as parent and guardian of Alicia, Eileen waived all claims against Naperville for personal injury to Alicia arising out of the riding lessons. The waiver was not authorized by any statute or judicial approval. Alicia later filed a complaint in trial court through her parents alleging that as a riding student of Naperville, she sustained injuries when riding a horse owned by Naperville on October 6, 1991. The trial court granted summary judgment to Naperville, and Alicia appealed.
