In this case "Phillips is directly liable for negligent hiring."

The average direct liability case includes hurt caused by the primary's carelessness with respect to the specialist. Cases of direct liability for carelessness incorporate (1) giving the operator dishonorable or misty guidelines; (2) neglecting to make and authorize suitable controls to oversee the specialist's lead; (3) contracting an unsatisfactory operator; (4) neglecting to release an inadmissible operator; (5) outfitting a specialist with despicable apparatuses, instruments, or materials; and (6) thoughtlessly regulating a specialist.
