An injury or death caused by the willful and unprovoked physical act of aggression by another employee falls under which liability?

• A. Employee liability to another employee
• B. Employer personal liability
• C. Public liability
• D. Third-party liability

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that when one employee commits a willful, unprovoked act of aggression against another employee, the liability is personal to the aggressor. The injured coworker can pursue damages from the rogue employee—the harm is a direct tort between employees. This differs from employer personal liability, which would involve the employer’s own fault or negligence, and from public or third-party liability, which involve non-employees or the broader public. So the situation described falls under the injured employee’s claim against the aggressor—employee liability to another employee.
