Held Harmless and the Held Harmless National Registry have been recently claimed as perhaps the most creative and savvy use of Federal and State Law in decades. Uniquely, Held Harmless uses the written laws to protect its registered members from lawsuits and lawyers. Held Harmless replaces the "I Am Not Liable" or "We Are Not Responsible" signs, disclaimers or notices needed to physically post in order to protect individuals and businesses from lawsuits. Until today, for this notice to be legally binding, it would need to be placed in a location visible to the general public. The benefit of Held Harmless and the National Registry is that this direct notice is only needed to be posted one time on our Website yet, it covers individuals and businesses and all material possessions nationally/ annually.
NEW YORK (PRWEB) October 12, 2005 -- With more than one hundred million lawsuits currently pending in US Courts, most people you talk to will agree that frivolous lawsuits and lawsuit abuse in on the rise - unless you talk to a lot of attorneys. Just last year alone, 16 million lawsuits were filed in the United States and the count increases daily.
But how can we protect ourselves from an angry customer, a jealous neighbor, a spiteful colleague, greedy lawyers or the general public? "Lawsuits were once a protective mechanism for society," says Charles Mellon, spokesperson for HeldHarmless.com, "but they've become a vindictive tool of greed and legalized extortion in far too many cases."
Held Harmless and the Held Harmless National Registry have been recently claimed as perhaps the most unique and savvy use of State and Federal law in decades.
Held Harmless is the "I Am Not Liable" or "We Are Not Responsible" sign, disclaimer or notice needed to be physically posted in order to protect a person or a business from lawsuits. Today, the benefit of The Held Harmless National Registry is that this direct notice is only needed to be posted one time annually yet, it covers individuals and business nationally.
The Held Harmless National Registry is a national listing of individuals and businesses that have made a lawful notice of release from being legally liable or responsible for losses, injuries or damages sustained by others. There are no costly attorneys involved, no legal fees and it is not a cash-depleting insurance product. Held Harmless is the most practical application of proven legal techniques to ever be mutually shared and utilized by US businesses and the general public.
HeldHarmless.com offers a guaranteed solution that just might put an end to the lawsuit dilemma single handedly. Now, Americans can take a proactive approach and use the law to protect themselves from being sued by registering with The Held Harmless National Registry to serve the public with legal notice that they are not liable for losses, injuries or damages sustained by others.
Under the law, in order to have some measure of protection from claims, businesses and even everyday people are required to somehow inform others that they cannot be held accountable. We've all seen signs posted, like in parking garages where the garage company is not responsible for "loss, injury or damage" should the car be vandalized or stolen. This little sign, even though very unattractive, keeps the garage free from legal claims of loss, injury or damage; simple and effective just like Held Harmless, although Held Harmless is far more encompassing.
"To protect themselves, companies wanting to give notice to the public must post notices, like disclaimers, signs and billboards, around their properties and on their literature. But this very unsightly and detracting requirement significantly deters from the overall message and appearance that individuals and companies wish to portray," said Mellon. "In a very simple and straightforward approach, HeldHarmless.com provides every American with a centralized source to post notice; eliminating the need for other obtrusive methods of communicating their message about their repudiation of legal claims against them; one registration provides national coverage."
Annual memberships with HeldHarmless.com cost a mere $19.95 for individuals and entire businesses can protect themselves for just $49.95 - a small price to pay for peace of mind. Members are provided with an ID card to attest their current status as active, current members of HeldHarmless.com. A searchable database provides a quick confirmation of membership, and live operators are available to assist in using the system and in locating members.
The Held Harmless and National Registry concepts are so unique that the United States Patent Office has indicated that a separate and unique patent will be issued upon completion of registration.
"We're confident that this repository will impact the number of frivolous and unsubstantiated claims flooding our court systems nationwide, reduce insurance costs, as well as, and perhaps more importantly, save consumers and businesses billions of dollars in unsubstantiated legal fees," added Mellon. "HeldHarmless.com provides an unprecedented measure of assurance against unwarranted claims. And we provide a guarantee of refund because we know that this method of providing notice is rock-solid."
