Question

Sam is a sales representative for the INC Corporation. Sam has a terrible driving record and has had his driver's license revoked, but nevertheless he continues to drive the company car for his job. One day, while driving to appointments for his job, he drives too fast for conditions, goes through a red light, and strikes a pedestrian. The accident happened despite the fact Sam's supervisor at INC knew Sam was a terrible driver, had is license revoked and had repeatedly reprimanded him and advised him to drive more cautiously. INC has:______

Answer 1

liability even though it did not authorize Sam to drive carelessly, because it employed an improper person as its agent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam's supervisor knew that he was a terrible driver and this was evidenced by having his driver's licence revoked.

Allowing him to still drive was an unwise decision on the part of INC.

So when the accident happened INC will be liable because they have the responsibility to ensure employees perform their jobs safely. They failed to do this with Sam
