MY CO-WORKER GOT DRUNK AT AN OFFICE PARTY AND CRASHED INTO MY CAR. IS MY CA EMPLOYER LIABLE?
In California, improper use of alcohol by yourself or another coworker may expose your employer to liability several laws. For example, your employer may be held liable if an employee consumes alcoholic beverages at a company-sponsored party and subsequently causes a car crash. Sometimes employers are held liable because negligent acts by employees under the influence of alcohol consumed at employer-sponsored events are found to be within the scope of their employment. Talk to an experienced employment attorney to see if your employer is liable for the accident caused by a drunk coworker.
If your employers’ business serves or sells alcohol he may be held liable if an employee consumes alcohol at his establishment and subsequently causes a crash. Employers with employees who drive as part of their job-such as delivery persons and sales representatives, may also be subject to legal action if the impaired employee causes a crash while conducting business. Don’t let your CA employer tell you that he is not responsible for his employers. Stand up for your rights.
