Resource: Diaz v. Carcamo Legal Analysis Grading Guide

The California Supreme Court ruled that an employer will be liable for injuries sustained by individuals due to the negligent driving of one of its employees, stating the following:

A person injured by someone driving a car in the course of employment may sue not only the driver but that driver's employer. The employer can be sued on two legal theories based on tort principles: respondeat superior and negligent entrustment.

Respondeat superior, a form of vicarious liability, makes an employer liable, irrespective of fault, for negligent driving by its employee in the scope of employment. The theory of negligent entrustment makes an employer liable for its own negligence in choosing an employee to drive a vehicle.



Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper, written in the third-person voice, that addresses the following:

Explore types of principal-agency relationships and determine what type of relationship exists in this case between the driver, Jose Carcamo, and the company, Sugar Transport of the Northwest, LLC.
What course of action do you recommend with respect to the lawsuit and Carcamo's employment?
Does Sugar Transport's Human Resources department have any responsibility for their role in hiring Carcamo? If so, what other employment law issues do you find legally problematic concerning the hiring of Carcamo? Identify them and explain the legal issues and laws that were violated.
Include justification for your responses by citing applicable laws and/or legal cases in your discussion.



Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines, and include headings that appropriately signal topics and keep your document organized.



Use a minimum of three different sources within the paper in addition to the laws and legal cases required above, and provide in-text citations. Any laws and legal cases used in the body of your paper must also be included in the References page.

Understanding the Erie case is one of the foundational requirements to figuring out which law to apply to a given case. This is known as the “choice-of-law” or “conflict-of-law” doctrine. It is one of the most difficult concepts to grasp early in the study of law. Carefully read Chapter 5 and then read the entire Erie case. If your head hasn’t exploded, begin helping each other decipher the rules presented below.

Once the case has been filed and the defenses established, both parties begin what is known as a process of discovery. Discovery is a means for both sides to avoid surprises at trial by asking and answering questions of each other, under oath and in from of a recorder to make a record of the process.

Discuss whether this disclosure and discovery process takes all the fun out of a trial. Requiring both parties to disclose potential witnesses and then allowing the recorded interview of these witnesses prior to trial seems to remove any of the tactical edge of surprise. Is that why we allow this process to happen?
