Under the law of negligent entrustment.....what?
This isn't really a question. I can tell you that negligent entrustment generally arises when the owner of a motor vehicle entrusts it to someone who they know will drive it in an unsafe manner, causing a third party to be injured. In such cases, the owner of the vehicle, as well as the driver, can be held jointly and severally liable.
