Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negligent entrustment is not a traditional defense used by employers in the context of workers' compensation systems. Before these systems were enacted, employers could defend against employee injury claims by arguing assumption of the risk, negligence of the employee, or intentional actions by third parties, but negligent entrustment primarily pertains to liability for negligently providing someone with a dangerous instrumentality that causes harm, which is not directly related to employer defenses in workers' compensation contexts.
