My question involves labor and employment law for the state of California.
Hi, first time on this forum and seeking some legal adivce. I am a currently a caregiver that provides care to five disabled adults. One of my clients went on a family outing on the night of Christmas 2016. He is completely dependent due to the fact that he has cerebral palsy, a conditon where he has no functions to any of his limbs. My job that night is to lift him from his wheelchair, change him, and put him to bed. That particular night, he had his cell phone tucked away in the pocket to one of his clothing. After I put him to bed, I proceed to drop his dirty laundry into the laundry basket without going through his pockets.
Long story short, his cell phone went through a wash and wouldn't turn on. We tried to put the phone inside a bed of rice to no avail. The phone is completely dead. So now the client's dad would like for us to pay for the phone and also the monthly fees that were incurred for the two months that his son wasn't able to use his phone. My boss, afraid of informing the owner of the facility about the accident, and want me to resolve this behind the owner's back. So my question is this, am i responsible for this mishap? Would this be considered a business's expense? Lastly, are we responsible for the monthly phone payments that his dad has now placed upon us?
Thank you in advance
