Business ethics and torts


Case Scenario:

You own University Heights Pizza, a pizza company that provides mostly home delivery. One of your drivers, Donald, routinely drives in excess of speed limits when delivering Pizza, and you are aware of these problems. One night while delivering pizzas, Donald decides to visit a girlfriend. You are aware that he sometimes does this, and you have not objected as long as the Pizza gets delivered on time. On the way to his girlfriend's house, but on the way to deliver a customer's pizza, Donald runs a red light at high speeds and seriously injures Alice, a driver in another car who had the right of way. Alice sues University Heights Pizza and Donald. You assert that University Heights is not liable for Donald's fast driving.

Write a paper of 750 to 1,050 words answering the following questions posed by this scenario:

  • What is University Height's best argument that it is not liable to Alice? Would you agree with this argument? Explain.
  • What is Alice's best argument that Donald is liable to Alice? Explain.
  • What should University Heights do to prevent risks like Donald?
  • Cite to at least three scholarly references.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
