Possibly. There are several ways that a business can be held liable for the actions of its employees. All are known as vicarious liability, where the company is responsible for negligent acts committed during the course and scope of normal activities in service to the company.
The owner of a vehicle can be held responsible for negligently entrusting the vehicle to another driver whose driving causes an automobile accident. Generally, however, a business owner is not responsible for acts committed by independent contractors. In the course of car accident litigation, one party may not have enough insurance or resources to compensate the victim for all injuries/damage sustained.
