Thelma and Louise were taking a road trip to escape their dreary lives when they were involved in a serious car accident.  They come to you for representation and want you to represent both of them in a lawsuit against the driver of the car that crashed into their car as Thelma was turning left at a busy intersection. Thelma and Louise live in a state with comparative negligence.

Thelma says she was driving and Louise was a front seat passenger.  Thelma had a concussion, a broken leg and  is still on crutches.  She was released from the hospital last week and doesn't remember much about the accident.  She still seems confused. Louise, who works as a waitress, has a very badly broken arm.  They both tell you that Thelma was driving, but they also tell you that another witness claims he saw Louise behind the wheel at the time of the accident.  Write the waiver for Louise to allow you to represent them both. 

You may use online templates for your waiver (you can find some samples on the ABA website or at (www.freivogelonconflicts.com.). However, do not simply cut and paste a sample—really think about what information you will need to convey to Louise.
