We have liability insurance that covers incidents in our shop space.  We are currently getting permission slips/liability forms for the kids that come in, nothing for adults yet.  People that get bikes from us don't sign forms, but will probably in the near future.

That may or may not help but good luck :)

This has probably been discussed before, and it's probably on some bike
collectives website...


what is your bike shop's take on the issue of liability?
 like, if someone gets injured, either working in your shop, or
possibly somehow because of a bike they have made or bought there.  Or,
some other form of liability.


Any anecdotes?   Advice?   Horror stories?

Especially Canada, which is where we are.


Cheers.
Daniel.
