Determining Liability in California Company Car Accidents

Company car accidents present a unique set of complexities when it comes to determining liability. For injury victims in California, understanding these complexities is crucial to securing the compensation they deserve.

Under California's “vicarious liability” laws, employers can be held liable for accidents caused by their employees. This liability applies when an employee is working and acting within the scope of their duties at the time of the accident. For instance, if a delivery driver causes an accident while making a delivery for their employer, the employer could be held liable.

Direct Employer Fault

In some cases, employers can be directly at fault for accidents. This can occur when employers fail to properly train, supervise, or vet their employees. For example, if a company hires a delivery driver with a history of reckless driving, the company could be held liable for any accidents caused by that driver.

There are situations where the employee, not the employer, is liable for an accident. This can occur when the employee is performing non-work-related tasks at the time of the accident or is commuting to or from work. Understanding these exceptions is crucial for injury victims seeking compensation.

The Role of Legal Representation in Company Car Accidents

Navigating the complexities of company car accidents can be challenging. Legal representation can play a vital role in securing maximum compensation. A skilled lawyer can help injury victims understand their rights and navigate the legal process.
