Legal Question in Personal Injury in New Jersey

Re: Circumstances where a company can be sued.

First, understand that anyone can sue anyone else for any reason at all. Whether they would ultimately be successful is up to the trier of fact; (in most cases, that would be the jury.) In any case, it sounds like a novel approach. In the final analysis, the jury would decide whether the company was acting as agent. In my opinion, it does not appear that there was direct causation. The company was saying "get into a carpool", not "drive negligently in your car pool." But that's only my opinion. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since you have not retained an attorney in this case, before you take any further action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention LawGuru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
