Brayden works for Raze 'N' Fall Inc., a demolition company. Ted is his immediate supervisor. Everyday Brayden gets a ride to and from work from his co-worker Ashley. After finishing his Tuesday afternoon shift, Ted asked Brayden if he could drive to the office and drop some important paperwork off before he went home. Brayden tells Ted that his car is at home and that he got a ride from Ashley. Ted informs Brayden that he can use his truck for the night if he takes it straight home after he drops the papers off at the office. Brayden goes to the office and drops off the paperwork as requested. He then proceeded to drive to a friend's house to give him a ride to the movies. Brayden then decided to visit his mother. He had dinner at her house and a couple of beers. On his way home he crashed Ted's truck into a private bridge causing significant damage to the structure. The owner of the bridge decided to sue not only Brayden but also his Raze 'N' Fall Inc., alleging that the company was vicariously liable for Brayden's negligence. Is the employer liable for the damages caused to the bridge? If so, why, and if not, why not?
