In the four years since Devon started Yard Tech in Florida, he incorporated the business, purchased two trailers and two pickup trucks, rented a storage facility for his trucks and equipment, and hired 2 full time employees. Yard Tech services include mowing, edging, mulching, planting, pruning and a variety of landscaping services. Yard Tech also offers pool cleaning services for a few clients. As expected, Devon and Yard Tech experience several scenarios while conducting operations. Myron was allowed to drive one of the company trucks to and from work because he was responsible for the territory in his part of town. Taking the truck home allowed Myron to go directly to the jobs without wasting time and gas to go pick up the truck each day. When driving home from work, Myron was involved in a collision with Hanh Nguyen. At the time of the accident, Myron had taken a detour in order to stop at the grocery store to pick up a few items and go home. Nguyen’s vehicle was totaled and she missed approximately two weeks of work recovering from her injuries. Nguyen sued Myron and Yard Tech. Myron suffered a broken leg and missed two months of work.
