意外责任险第 425 / 531 题
A delivery driver rear-ends a car while making scheduled company deliveries. The employer is held liable for the driver's negligence under the doctrine of:
a.res ipsa loquitur, as the facts speak for themselves
b.assumption of risk transferred to the employer
c.vicarious liability for an employee's acts on the job
d.absolute liability for an ultrahazardous activity
解析
Vicarious liability imputes one party's negligence to another because of their relationship, most often employer to employee for acts within the scope of employment, which scheduled deliveries plainly are. Res ipsa loquitur is an inference of negligence drawn from the nature of an accident, not a way of transferring one person's negligence to another. Ordinary driving is not an ultrahazardous activity, so absolute liability does not reach it.
