Smith, while in the course of his employment with the Bee Corporation, negligently ran the company's truck into Williams, injuring him severely. Subsequently, the Bee Corporation and the Sea Corporation consolidated, forming the Sea Bee Corporation.
Williams filed suit against the Sea Bee Corporation for damages, and the Sea Bee Corporation argued the defense that the injuries Williams sustained were not caused by any of Sea Bee's employees, that Sea Bee was not even in existence at the time of the injury, and that the Sea Bee Corporation was therefore not liable. What decision?
