Whether it's a hospital admission agreement, a long-term care facility contract, or a retainer agreement with an attorney, avoid clauses that force you or your parents into binding arbitration to resolve any disputes with the service provider. This clause not only signs away your constitutional right to sue in court but prevents you from appealing any decision by the arbitrator. Simply ask that the clause be removed from the contract. You can't be forced to sign a contract that mandates binding arbitration.
