What is my legal recourse if I am harmed by the VeriChip?
Unfortunately, you may not have any legal recourse if you are harmed by the VeriChip. Before receiving a microchip, implant recipients are required to sign an agreement that excuses VeriChip from all legal responsibility in the event of injury or harm. In fact, the document states that the VeriChip has no “warranties of merchantability and fitness” for any purpose, and it expressly excuses the company from being sued—even in the event of negligence or breach of contract on the company’s part. The VeriChip patient release form reads as follows: Patient…is fully aware of any risks, complications, risks of loss, damage of any nature, and injury that may be associated with this registration. Patient waives all claims and releases any liability arising from this registration and acknowledges that no warranties of any kind have been made or will be made with respect to this registration. ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, HOWEVER ARISING, WHETHER BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE,
