QUESTION
Am I liable for breaking a contract with a medical condition
Asked on Sep 23rd, 2014 on Breach of Contract - Florida
More details to this question:
I have signed an agreement for my son for a martial arts class. The contract is for 3 yrs, Because of my sons health issue, headache, has forced us to discontinue the class within 6 months. The agreement says if any physical disability happens then the agreement can be cancelled. In this case, there is a no physical disability but when he comes back from the martial arts class - he would come back with severe head ache, because of the high pitch sounds. I have a supported Doctor Note for this. So, in this case, am I liable to continue this contract? From other side they have come back with a lawyer notice to pay the remaining amount.

This sounds like they are treating the doctor note for what it may be, a freindly note from the doc at your request to get out of the contract, but not based on medical diagnosis or support. To this end, you will need something more concrete to support your issue, and relate something that prevents attendance, if this can be determined. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a credit reporting issue and collections lawsuit for the balance, as STILL have to support your position. I would suspect that indeterminate headaches would be insufficient. If you have other questions, please fee free to contact our office at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation.
