Dаrа invents а new type оf baby cradle, a lоgо for the baby cradle, and a user video. Which statement is true?
Sierrа Vistа Hоspitаl (“SVH”) is a large private hоspital in Sоuthern California. It operates a paid valet service for patients and visitors, staffed by employees of InstaPark, Inc., an independent parking company contracted by the hospital. At 7:00 a.m., Dr. Ellen Johnson, an orthopedic surgeon employed by SVH, arrived for her shift. She handed her car keys to Dave, a 20 year old valet employed by InstaPark. Dave was told to never to take patient or employee cars off hospital property. After taking Dr. Johnson’s BMW, Dave saw his ex-girlfriend walking down the street and impulsively decided to drive the BMW off-campus to confront her. He drove several blocks away and stopped abruptly near a coffee shop. After over one hour of talking with his ex-girlfriend, Dave drove the BMW back toward SVH, planning to “drop it off before anyone freaks out.” Distracted while fumbling with his phone GPS, he ran a red light and collided with John, a delivery driver on a scooter, severely injuring John and damaging the scooter. Dr. Johnson reported her missing vehicle. Dave admitted he “borrowed it for a quick trip.” Dave’s supervisor documented the incident but did not notify InstaPark’s corporate office or SVH for three days because she “didn’t want to deal with the paperwork.” SVH also had a policy requiring employees to park only in designated employee garages, not with valet, but Dr. Johnson had routinely ignored this rule without consequence for two years.
