Liability as it relates to the work we do as volunteers for the SW Minutemen

After talking with Chris Gardner and the church's insurance agent, I found out that we have a million dollar liability policy for possible damages caused by a MinuteMAN error plus an extra umbrella policy. We are also covered by the federal Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 and the Arkansas Charitable Immunity Act.

Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 and the Arkansas Charitable Immunity Act

Facts are, negligence is always going to spawn lawsuits and so is stupidity but as the state statute states, "This subchapter limits and defines the liability of volunteers in order to diminish their concern with regard to personal liability associated with volunteer work, in order that the state might maximize this important human resource." 

Be sure and have the true property owner sign a release for each project... see "Owner Release Form" tab on the right.
