Doing Business by Cellphone Creates New Liability Issues
The NY Times is running an article looking at the legal liabilities companies may face if their employees get into a car accident while talking on their mobile phones. It seems more and more victims of car accidents are suing employers. The results so far have been mixed, but it's going to be a growing concern, and some companies are officially publishing policies telling employees they're not allowed to talk on a mobile phone while driving.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
