Auto Dealers Webinar: Negligent Entrustment

Negligent Entrustment

Automobile accidents are a growing and expensive liability for dealerships, mainly due to distracted driving and a legal concept called negligent entrustment.

Many garage liability policies do not offer coverage for incidents of negligent entrustment and business auto policies may not provide enough coverage. Juries often award the plaintiff punitive damages in excess of any compensatory damages resulting from negligent entrustment.
