Dave is a driver for Empire Courier Service. Around  the company, Dave is   known as sort of a hothead. During his previous employment  at another company,   Dave had been involved in a workplace fistfight with a  fellow employee,   resulting in criminal charges.

One day, between deliveries and in a   company  vehicle, Dave decides to get lunch. While leaving the parking lot at   Big Burrito  Bistro, the favorite lunch spot for most Empire Courier employees,   Dave  negligently causes a car accident with another vehicle, resulting in   injuries  to Victor, the driver of the other car. As Dave and Victor are   waiting  on the  side of the road for the police to arrive, Victor comments to   Dave, "Oh,  you drive for Empire Courier Service. It doesn't surprise me that   Empire hires   bad drivers because their service stinks, and their prices are   too high!"  Dave  is so offended that Victor would insult his employer's   professional  reputation  that he punches Victor in the face, causing Victor to   suffer even  more  injuries. Empire Courier Service does not, as a matter of   policy, do  criminal  background checks on its employees.

Considering  the legal principles discussed in Chapter 20, explain who is   liable for Dave's  negligence for causing the car accident, and explain who is   liable for Dave's  intentional tort for punching Victor. Provide your answers   in  a case analysis  of a minimum of 500 words. Cite any direct quotes or   paraphrased material from  outside sources. Use APA format.
