New York Court of Appeals

George A. Kellogg, Respondent v. the Church Charity Foundation of Long Island, Appellant

October 17, 1911203 N.Y. 191

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the lower court, holding that a charitable corporation is not immune from tort liability, that the ambulance driver was not the corporation's servant, and that an ambulance is not a dangerous instrumentality per se, thus the hospital is not liable for the driver’s negligence.
