Verbal agreements can be enforced, and are constantly used in the medical field. When a patient cannot make their own decision and their life is in an emergency life-threatening situation that requires certain medical procedures, the guardian of the patient can make a quick verbal agreement in order to save the patient’s life as long as the patient did not sign to a “do not resuscitate” document. Usually, written agreement is probably the best to use when starting work or a project, because both parties have a document of when you signed it and if you understood the entire document. Verbal agreements, which can be binding, are less reliable to document and less believable to others when one person breaks the agreement, since it is not in writing.
