United States Third Circuit

In a suit against a private foster agency by a foster child, through his guardian ad litem, claiming that the agency was vicariously liable for the negligent driving of the foster parent that caused an accident rendering the child a quadriplegic, a grant of agency's motion for summary judgment is affirmed as a master-servant relationship did not exist between the agency and the foster parent to impose vicariously liability on the agency for the foster parent's ordinary negligence at issue.
