Anderson v. Commack Fire District

Decision: 2023.04.20
Argument: 2023.02.08 vid. tr.

If a driver may be liable for operating an emergency vehicle only if they do so with reckless disregard for the safety of others (under VTL § 1104), may a municipality be vicariously liable for the driver’s operation of that vehicle under a plain negligence standard (under GML § 205-b) or is the municipality’s vicarious liability also limited to acts amounting to reckless disregard?
