Practice question
A driver’s negligence is established through an applicable inference and the required employer relationship and task connection are proved. Must the employer’s distinct diligence question still be addressed?
- Yes; the employee and employer inquiries have distinct bases
- No; the two presumptions are always identical
- No; a valid employee inference necessarily proves careful supervision
- No; a damages request automatically resolves diligence
- No; insurance conclusively answers both
