[Asterisk-Users] 911 and lawsuits

[Scott Stingel]

I've always been advised that personal injury liability waivers are of
limited value in either avoiding a lawsuit or limiting damages, in the US.
Can't hurt to have such an agreement, but probably would not help under our
tort system.  Outside the US, might be a different story!

What do you think most PBXs are? Maybe not a x86, but it is a computer.

Good question otherwise.
