Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Truck & Transfer can avoid liability by proving that they were not negligent in the disappearance of the container. The fact that the loading dock is in a high-crime area or that United Home may have been negligent in hiring TTC would not necessarily absolve Truck & Transfer of liability.
