A new white paper from Aegis Mobility details in what ways employers are liable for the conduct in their employees, specifically when employees are involved in collisions caused by use of a mobile device.
For example, the report notes that courts routinely allow claims against employers even when an employee was driving after normal business hours, en route to a personal event, sightseeing on a business trip, operating a personal vehicle, or utilizing a personal mobile device while driving.
This paper is an update to another originally published in 2010. This updated white paper was developed in collaboration with a national law firm that specializes in defending corporate clients.
“The simple truth is that when employees crash while using a mobile device, employers are faced with significant risk and liability,” said Matt Howard, Chief Marketing Officer at Aegis Mobility. “In today’s hyper-connected world, companies must understand the full landscape of issues in order to make sound decisions about the use of mobile devices while employees are driving on the job.”
