question

A truck driver was making deliveries for his employer. After telling his employer by phone that he was going for lunch and getting approval, he pulled into the entrance of a restaurant where he intended to have his usual 30- minute lunch break. While entering the parking lot, the driver carelessly ran over and seriously injured a pedestrian. The injured person sued the driver and the driver's employer for negligence in causing her injuries. Is the employer liable?

choices

  1. Yes, because of the doctrine of vicarious liability.
  2. Yes, because the employer owned the truck.
  3. No, because the employee was not within the scope of his employment.
  4. No, because liability cannot be imputed from one person to another.
