I would appreciate some advice on how to proceed with this issue.
A three week old 2014 motorcycle was in need of warranty work and a 1000 mile service. Due to the issue, the dealer said not to ride the bike to them and they would come to a home to pick up the motorcycle. After the work was completed at the dealership, an employee of the dealership was test riding the bike. While on this test ride, someone hit the employee head on. The employee is now in the hospital - the extent of the injuries are unknown.
What liability does the motorcycle owner hold? What liability does the dealership hold?
The dealership has informed the owner that this is between the owner and the person who hit their employee. Shouldn't a motorcycle owner have an expectation to receive a bike back after service/repairs in the same or better condition than when the dealer took possession?
