Engler v. Gulf Interstate Engineering: 258 P.3d 304 (2011)
Feb 27, 2012OUTCOME: The Court found in favor of our client Gulf Interstate Engineering
The Arizona Supreme Court addressed whether an employer can be held vicariously liable for an after-work accident caused by an employee who was on an extended away-from-home assignment. The Court held ... that because the employee was not subject to his employer’s control, he was not acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the accident and that the employer was therefore not liable for the employee's actions.
