LRTA v. Navidad

Facts:

Nicanor Navidad, then drunk, entered the LRT EDSA station after purchasing a token. While he was standing on the platform, a security guard approached him. A misunderstanding occurred and led to a fist fight. Navidad fell on the railway and was killed.

Issue:

Whether the company is liable as a common carrier

Held:

Yes.

However, the negligence of the employer in the selection of employees has not been duly proven.
