1.Nelson Oliver worked as a cable installer for Crux Connecticut Telecom, LLC, under an agreement with a third party, D&D Com Inc. The agreement stated that no employer-employee relationship existed between Crux and D&D's technicians, including Oliver. Oliver was required to designate his affiliation with Crux on his work van, clothing, and identification badge, but Cruz had minimal contact with him and limited power to control the manner in which he performed his duties. Crux supplied cable wire and similar items, but the equipment was delivered to M&M, not Oliver. On a workday, while Oliver was fulfilling a work order, his van rear-ended a car driven by Danielle Ramirez. Ramirez filed a lawsuit against Crux. Is Crux liable for Oliver's negligent driving?

If possible can you state which law(s) would be necessary in answering in an IRAC method?
