  1. Can Release And Claim Waiver Deter Your Quantum Meruit Claim? It is important to carefully review the language of a release and claim waiver before signing it, as it may have significant consequences for your legal rights. It is always a good idea to consult with a qualified attorney if you have any questions or concerns about a release and claim waiver or other legal documents. Additionally, it is important to understand that the doctrine of quantum meruit may not always be applicable in every situation. In order for a claim based on quantum meruit to be successful, there must have been an implied contract or agreement between the parties, and the person seeking payment must have provided valuable services or goods to the other party. The court will also consider

  2. whether the services or goods provided were reasonable and necessary and whether the person seeking payment was acting in good faith.
