Automobile Responsibility Limits Raise Public Interest
The Appellate Division ruling says owners are not liable for chauffeur misconduct unless the owner is in the car or the car is used for the owner’s personal business. If chauffeurs act for their own purposes, owners escape liability, a view with dissents. Victims face little recourse beyond prosecuting the chauffeur. harsher owner accountability could curb reckless driving and improve chauffeur discipline. The ruling’s uneven effect on claims for damages remains a concern.
