El accidente fue tan r\u00e1pido que apenas lo recuerdas. El otro conductor, que en ese momento estaba haciendo unos recados para su jefe y se distrajo con el tel\u00e9fono, tuvo claramente la culpa.<\/p>\n

Si el otro conductor caus\u00f3 tus lesiones, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 tiene que pagar su jefe? Ah\u00ed es donde entra en juego el concepto jur\u00eddico de \"respondeat superior\".<\/p>\n

La carga de sus p\u00e9rdidas debe recaer en la parte m\u00e1s capaz de soportarlas<\/h2>\n

\"Respondeat superior<\/a>\" significa en lat\u00edn \"que responda el amo\". Es un concepto jur\u00eddico muy antiguo que dice que los empresarios pueden, en las circunstancias adecuadas, ser considerados responsables subsidiarios de los errores de sus empleados.<\/p>\n

Esto es importante para su caso porque sus lesiones y p\u00e9rdidas pueden incluir da\u00f1os que superan con creces el seguro est\u00e1ndar que tiene el conductor que le atropell\u00f3. Sin embargo, es probable que la p\u00f3liza de seguro de su empleador sea mucho mayor. En esencia, la ley pretende que la carga financiera de sus p\u00e9rdidas recaiga en la parte m\u00e1s capacitada para cubrirlas, y esa parte no es ni usted ni el otro conductor.<\/p>\n

La responsabilidad indirecta no se aplica a todas las situaciones con todos los empleados<\/h2>\n

S\u00f3lo se puede responsabilizar a un empresario de un accidente de tr\u00e1fico causado por un empleado cuando \u00e9ste actuaba en el curso de su trabajo habitual o con su autorizaci\u00f3n. Si estaban en su tiempo libre, tomando un desv\u00edo no aprobado o simplemente retozando en un coche de empresa, entonces su empleador puede no ser responsable.<\/p>\n

Por ejemplo, si el conductor que le atropell\u00f3 estaba recogiendo la comida y la ropa sucia del jefe, puede que eso no forme parte estrictamente de su trabajo, pero sin duda lo hizo con la autorizaci\u00f3n y las indicaciones de su empleador, por lo que \u00e9ste probablemente ser\u00eda responsable del accidente. Por otro lado, si el empleado ten\u00eda que estar atendiendo una llamada de servicio pero decidi\u00f3 desviarse para recoger caf\u00e9 y su propia ropa de la tintorer\u00eda, probablemente no se podr\u00eda responsabilizar a su empleador.<\/p>\n

Dado que este tipo de casos son complicados, lo m\u00e1s sensato es que una persona con experiencia se encargue de examinarlos. su caso de accidente de coche<\/a>. Eso puede ayudarle a evitar dejar sobre la mesa el dinero que le corresponde por sus p\u00e9rdidas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
