legal question- contract

i just moved to a new office which has a parking lot in the back. its actually a residental building with offices owned by my organization. they want me to sign a parking agreement that frees them from any liability if my car sustains any damage. what if something happens to my car that's someone else's fault? would this agreement be upheld? TIA

You always have your auto insurance. They can always go after the person who did the damage (if they know who it was). If you don't have comp & collision, though, that's another story.

*without reading the agreement* it sounds to me like it just means you can't sue THEM for damage to your car. if someone random damages your car (and you know who it is of course) then you'd still be able to go after them.

yes thats pretty much what it says. which i think that if its their fault, they should be responsible for it, dontcha think? i know nothing about insurance and such since its FH's car that i started driving to work.

Of course they should be responsible if it's their fault but my *guess* would be that they don't want to open the door, so to speak, to being sued for every little kind of damage that you can't pin on someone else. It scuks, but i'm not surprised.
