What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CALIFORNIA

liable for what?

 

[Betty]

Yes, it would help if we knew liable for what - if he got injured; to pay him; if he made an error; or just what?

Thanks.

Not if he posts in all caps, he isn't. Please don't shout at us.

If you didn't know it, typing in capitals on the internet means you're shouting at us.

I'm sorry for the caps. I am getting different opinions on the question.

Let me explain it better.

It is a mobile home park.

The asst. manager who takes care of the landscaping has his son who is not employed workking with him.

Driving the company truck.

Is the park owners liable if something happens.

thank you

and again accept my apology.

 

[pattytx]

OK, so the son is working for the guy who does the landscaping? And the landscaping guy is an employee of the complex/management company? Does landscaper guy do this as part of his job or does he have his own landscaping business and he does this on the side?

.

..possibly/maybe


as patty asked, still more clarification is needed.

along with patty's q's; are you trying to determine if the owner would be liable to the child for something (kid gets hurt doing whatever he is doing; needs a finger reattached)

or if the child could do something that the owner would be held liable for? (kid driving truck runs over little old lady resident)

How old is the son?

Is the father employed by the mobile home park as an employee, or is he an independent contractor who works for himself and has the mobile home park as a client?

 

[justalayman]

OP must have gotten the answer in class the next day

 

[Darras-Law]

Employee son also needs to be an employee of the company for any liabilities

If landscaper is independendent contractor and mobile home is his client then if he brings his son the case is different but if the landscaper is employee of mobile home management company and boy is under age and makes any mistake then company is not liable for any thing.

Darras-Law, we explained all this to the OP a month ago.
