Brown v. Labor Ready Northwest, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• In Washington, “[v]icarious liability depends upon the 3 liability of the negligent agent to the injured plaintiff”
• “Vicarious liability depends upon the liability of the negligent agent to the injured plaintiff; if a plaintiff is barred from suit against the negligent employee, she cannot sue the employer on a theory of vicarious liability.”
• \ [T]he sole concern for vicarious liability (as opposed to workers' compensation immunity) is whether the master accepted and controlled the service that led to the injury. Consent of the borrowed employee is thus irrelevant in cases where the borrowed employee is not the claimant\
