Wilson v. Speedy Delivery Service & Garmin

Facts

The Speedy Delivery Company needed to hire a new driving professional, to cater for

their deliveries within the city. Following their background check on Annie, the company did not

find anything that caused concern on her driving record. Based on the results of this background

check, her ten-year driving experience and the exclusive driving training she had, Speedy

Delivery Services Inc. hired Annie. She was also hired since she displayed an impeccable

awareness of the city routes, and locations. Annie’s work shift was from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

everyday. Following the pandemic, there was increased demand for her delivery services, since

online shopping rates increased. The company could not hire new drivers, and the existing

drivers had to pick up extra shifts. Annie knew that she would not succeed to make all her

deliveries within her shift hours, and that she would have to work past 7 pm. At about 10 a.m.,

Annie was already behind schedule and she was working with focus to save as much time as she

could. Annie came to a four-way intersection, and without seeing other cars, entered the

intersection, albeit at slowed down speed. However, Annie ended up hitting another Driver,

Mimi, who had underestimated Annie’s speed, and assumed that Annie was coming to a stop.

Mimi sustained various injuries, and irreconcilable damage was caused to her car. Mimi sued

both Annie and the Speedy Delivery Services Company for her injuries and the damages caused

on her car.

Issue

Are Annie and Speedy Delivery Services liable for the injuries caused to Mimi and her

car under the Doctrine of Respondeat Superior on Speedy Delivery Services?
