January, 2006: Holiday Cheer |
It is the holiday season again, and, as I have stated in the past, the best policy is not to be a “scrooge” but always to remember that the dealership is responsible for the actions of its employees. Injuries or accidents that occur as a result of too much “holiday spirit” on the dealership premises or at parties that are sponsored by the dealership may become the basis for workers’ compensation claims. Also, accidents that occur off the premises but are directly attributable to a dealership’s holiday party or are caused by an employee’s overindulgence with the dealership’s knowledge, may expose the dealership to legal liability.
As always, these are highlights of the law and are not to be construed as containing the entire law. This is not to be construed or relied upon as a legal opinion. If you are presented with this problem, contact your legal counsel for advice.
