Can an employer become liable for an employee’s negligence when he’s driving to work? The family of a man who was killed by a waterproofing company employee’s erratic driving argued yes and said the worker’s compensation “special mission” exception should apply to render the employer liable in tort. It hadn’t been that long since the employee left rehab for drug addiction, but since that time he had moved up the ranks of his father’s waterproofing company. According to his father, the employee, who was later sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for manslaughter, had become an assistant marketing manager and a trusted member of his department.
