Borrowed Servant Rule

This term is actually a legal doctrine, not just a “rule.” It states that an employer may be held liable for the actions of a temporary employee. It applies when an express or implied contract for hire is created between the employer and the injured employee, with the employee working primarily for that employer, and with the employer controlling the details of the work.

In these conditions, the employer is now a “special employer,” and can be held liable for the actions or injuries of their employees, regardless of how they were hired.
