USLAW TRANSPORTATION COMPENDIUM OF LAW This compendium is a survey of state law on various issues associated with the derivative negligence claims of negligent entrustment, hiring, retention and supervision in truck accident cases. It examines the elements of proof of each theory by which an employer might be held to have derivative or dependent liability for the conduct of an employee or independent operator, defenses that can be asserted to such claims and whether such theories can support a claim of punitive damages.
The compendium addresses the various ways the states handle these issues. We believe it will be an important resource for members of the transportation industry.
