If my friend has gotten permanent ear drum damage from skydiving, can she hold the company response even though she signed consent forms?
Question Details: My friend went skydiving 2 weeks ago and they went 16,000 feet. We did some research and saw that companies should only go to 12,000 feet as maximum. She is now suffering damage to ear drum and inner ear. She developed severe vertigo and hasn't been able to work since skydiving. he doctor said it was from the pressure changes from going so high.

What is the reason for the company to go that high? Was she informed before jumping? She must have signed a liability release form before jumping, which is called assumption of risk. Your friend should find an attorney to fully evaluate the case and decide whether she has a claim against the company.
