REC 440 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Statutory Corporation, Sovereign Immunity, Parachuting
Document Summary
There are 3 categories of parties that can be liable of neglect: 1. Most of the time they are without immunity. Employees are individually liable for their own negligent conduct. Insurance doesn"t prevent liability but it may pay for damages: 2. Administrative or supervisory personnel are liable for their own negligent conduct, but not liable for the negligence of subordinates. They are liable if the administrator owes a duty and acts of the administrator enhanced the likelihood of injury. In other words, if management made a decision that put the employee or guest in the place where they could be hurt . Ex: supervisor schedules you 18 hour shifts at a. Pelican"s snoballs and at the end you are responsible for cleaning the shaver and you are so tried you cut yourself makes the supervisor liable for you getting hurt.
