Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Principals can potentially avoid liability for independent contractor's actions, but not for inherently dangerous activities that they assign to them. This is because the principal has a responsibility to ensure that the contractor they hire is competent and capable of performing the task safely. If the activity is inherently dangerous, the principal cannot delegate their responsibility to ensure safety to the contractor, and therefore remains liable.
