Amicus Curiae Brief
“Tort Law. Punitive Damages. Respondeat Superior. Issues include whether an employer’s admission of respondeat superior liability requires dismissal of other theories of secondary liability, like negligent hiring; whether a claim for negligent hiring can be based on evidence of an employee-tortfeasor’s past alcoholism, addiction, or mental health treatment when there is no evidence the accident was causally related to those factors; and whether an employer may be found to have ratified or authorized an employee’s conduct for purposes of KRS 411.184(3) based on post-incident investigation policies.”
