Williams v. Hall

288 Ill. App. 3d 917 (1st Dist. 1997)

In this wrongful death action, the Court affirmed the trial court’s setting aside of a $1 million verdict in favor of the Plaintiff. The Court held that the Defendant’s employee was acting outside the scope of his employment at the time of the accident in question and, therefore, the Defendant could not be held vicariously liable for its employee’s conduct.
