Supreme Court ruled that an employer will be
liable for injuries sustained by individuals due
to the negligent driving of one of its employees,
stating the following A person injured by
someone driving a car in the course of employment
may sue not only the driver but that driver's
employer. The employer can be sued on two legal
theories based on tort principles respondeat
superior and negligent entrustment. Respondeat
superior, a form of vicarious liability, makes an
employer liable, irrespective of fault, for
negligent driving by its employee in the scope of
employment. The theory of negligent entrustment
makes an employer liable for its own negligence
in choosing an employee to drive a vehicle. Write
a 700- to 1,050-word paper, written in the
third-person voice, that addresses the
following Explore types of principal-agency
relationships and determine what type of
relationship exists in this case between the
