No. 533 EAL 2016

Michele VALENTINO, as Administratrix of the Estate of Derek Valentino, Deceased, and Michele Valentino, in her Own Right, Petitioner v. PHILADELPHIA TRIATHLON, LLC, Respondent


ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 2nd day of May, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

Whether the Superior Court erred when it determined that a waiver of liability form, executed solely by the decedent, and stating the signer assumes all risks of participation in a triathlon, also binds his heirs, thereby precluding them from bringing a wrongful death action?

Justice Wecht did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
