Dora is hired by Nancy to work in Nancy's pizza delivery operation. Nancy does a thorough background
Question:
Dora is hired by Nancy to work in Nancy's pizza delivery operation. Nancy does a thorough background check on Dora and learns that Dora has a perfect driving record with no complaints from any of her prior employers.
One day while Dora is driving a company vehicle to deliver pizza, Dora negligently collides with Pablo, damaging Pablo's car.
Discuss the following:
1. Any individual liability of Dora?
2. Any vicarious liability of Nancy?
Would your answer to either of these change if the collision occurred a couple hours after Dora had completed all her deliveries and while she was exiting the parking lot at a local casino where she had stopped to gamble instead of returning to the restaurant as she'd been instructed to do?
