Struck the vehicle of devavaram and ruth christopher


The franchise agreement of Domino’s Pizza, L.L.C., sets out operational standards, including safety requirements, for a franchisee to follow but provides that the franchisee is an independent contractor. Each franchisee is free to use its own means and methods. For example, Domino’s does not know whether a franchisee’s delivery drivers are com- plying with vehicle safety requirements. MAC Pizza Management, Inc., operates a Domino’s franchise. A vehicle driven by Joshua Balka, a MAC delivery driver, hydroplaned due to a bald tire and wet pavement, and struck the vehicle of Devavaram and Ruth Christopher, killing Ruth and injuring Devavaram. Is Domino’s liable for negligence? Explain.
