implied assumption of the risk

Read a random definition: eyewitness identification

A quick definition of implied assumption of the risk:

Implied assumption of the risk is when someone takes part in an activity knowing that there is a risk involved. This means that they cannot later sue for any injuries or damages that occur as a result of that activity. Implied authority, implied bias, implied coercion, implied color, implied condition, implied confession, implied consent, implied consideration, implied contract, implied covenant, implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, implied crime, implied dedication, implied duty of cooperation, implied easement, implied in fact, implied-in-fact condition, implied-in-fact contract, and implied in law are all legal terms that refer to things that are assumed or inferred based on the circumstances of a situation, rather than being explicitly stated or agreed upon.

A more thorough explanation:

Implied assumption of the risk is when someone participates in an activity or uses a product, knowing that there is a risk involved. This can be inferred from their actions, even if they did not explicitly acknowledge the risk.

For example, if someone goes skiing, they are assuming the risk of injury or even death, even if they did not sign a waiver or acknowledge the risk in any way. Similarly, if someone uses a power tool without taking proper safety precautions, they are assuming the risk of injury.

These examples illustrate how implied assumption of the risk can be inferred from someone's actions, even if they did not explicitly acknowledge the risk. It is important to be aware of the risks involved in any activity or product use and take appropriate precautions to minimize those risks.

Tell us what's important to you

@Law-Shark: they didn't say we had to go? and if they are willing to buy rooms for a bunch of people. they sent me a res because I was over 50 miles away but I didn't even ask for one
16:42
@Law-Shark: also kind of rude for you to be speaking to me like that, the event started at 9am and I had to wakeup at 4 to drive in. i was tired and couldn't even check in until 4pm if I wanted to so I just drove back. it's unprofessional to offer it the night before and not the day after. they also didn't feed us actual food and we were there until 2pm.

The fact you didn't think a reservation in your name is something you need to be responsible for and cancel if you weren't going to show up to by sending a simple email is absolutely iresponsible.
16:43
I didn't make a reservation tho?
16:44
Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances
Law-Shark
16:44
Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain.
16:45
i think that's where i was confused then
Law-Shark
16:45
disconnect*
Law-Shark
16:45
You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
