之前发过一篇帖子:https://huaren.us/showtopic.html?topicid=2908698 讨论开车视频会议,该怎么处理。 今天看到了一家law firm的文章,里面写着:
There is a third party in cases of texting and driving who is not either of the drivers, and may have been nowhere near the area where the accident occurred: The person who was texting the driver or talking to them on the phone. Is that person liable if the driver they are speaking to is involved in an accident? Often, the answer to that question will be dependent on if the person on the other end of the phone was aware that the person they were talking to was driving.
If that person did know that they were texting someone who was driving, it is possible that they could be partially liable for the accident. The driver would be negligent by responding to their texts of phone calls, but it can be argued that the other person contributed to the damages by essentially supplying the distraction, or assisting the behavior.
A person who is texting or calling someone and does not know they were driving, in most cases, will not be liable. Although they did supply the distraction, they were not negligent because they could not have known their text or call would cause damage.  原文:https://www.nypersonalinjurylawyer.com/blog/2019/october/can-the-person-on-the-other-end-of-the-phone-be-/
上面的意思是说,一旦对方出了车祸,所有视频会议的人员都有责任。
