Guam § 82604 - Release in Personal Injury.

§ 82604. Release in Personal Injury.

Any agreement entered into on or after the effective date of this

Section by any person within 15 days after he incurs a personal injury,

which is related to his right to be compensated for such injury, including but

not limited to agreements relating to waivers of procedural or other rights,

may be disavowed in writing by such injured person or, in the case of a

minor, also by his parent or guardian, within one year after the making of

the agreement. No agreement disavowed may be introduced as evidence in

any judicial or administrative proceeding. In order to be effective, any such

disavowal shall be sent by registered mail to the person by whom it was

obtained or on whose behalf it was obtained, or to the attorney of the

defendant against whom action is brought for such personal injury, at the

last known address of such person or attorney, and no disavowal shall be

ineffective because unaccompanied by an offer to return any consideration

accepted on account of the agreement. In lieu of making a disavowal by

registered mail as provided herein, such disavowal may be made by a

pleading in an appropriate action or proceeding provided that such pleading

is filed within one year after the making of the agreement disavowed.

In the event of the death, incompetence or disability of the injured

person, his executor, administrator, guardian or other personal repre-

sentative may make the disavowal in the manner and within the time period

provided in this section.
