This is a little wild-eyed considering the nature of the Uber–driver relationship and the crime in question. Question: if a NY taxi driver had been in the same accident, is the taxi company liable?
- dagw 13y agoquoting from the short article: "Taxi companies, who employ independent contractors just like Uber does, have faced negligent hiring charges in the past."

- epochwolf 13y agoIf google gave the engineer the gun or heavy machinery that was used in the crime, perhaps. If negligence on google's part can be proven. (For example, giving a gun to a convicted felon)

- colmvp 13y ago"The driver was not providing services on the Uber system during the time of the accident. We again extend our deepest condolences to the family and victims of this tragic accident." If a NY Taxi driver got into an accident off the clock, how would the company be liable?
