Generally, negligent entrustment occurs where a person or entity entrusts a vehicle to a reckless, incompetent, or unlicensed driver, if the person or entity entrusting the vehicle should have known that the driver was reckless, incompetent, or unlicensed. If such a driver causes a collision, then the person or entity who negligently entrusted the vehicle may also be responsible for the damages caused by the collision. (PJC 7.12).
