For the past three years, Susan has worked solely as a delivery truck driver for AMCO tool supply. Although she has a contract with AMCO specifically stating that she is an independent contractor, the truck is owned by AMCO and Susan is paid by the hour. She generally works from 6 a.m. until about 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Each morning, she is emailed a list of delivery locations and times from her supervisor at AMCO. One Friday at 9 a.m., Susan is en route to a delivery when she notices that her gas tank is nearly empty. As she is pulling into the Shell station, she spills coffee on her pants and momentarily takes her hands off the steering wheel. The delivery truck crashes into a parked car, injuring the driver, Mel Blanc. Mel subsequently files suit against both Susan and AMCO.

b. [5 Points] Is the court likely to determine that Susan is an independent contractor or an employee? Explain your response by listing and applying the relevant factor used by the court.

c. [3 Points] Assume the court determines that Susan is an independent contractor. How does that determination affect Mel's claim against AMCO?

[NOTE: Separate and letter each response - e.g., "a. The legal term is ___")
