FAQ
The bailee is liable for all injuries to the property from failure to properly care for or use it. Once the purpose of the bailment has been completed, the bailee usually must return the property to the bailor, or account for it, depending upon the terms of the contract.
If the bailment is for the sole benefit of the owner (the bailor), the bailee is answerable only for gross neglect or fraud: the duty of care is slight.
It is well established now that Bailee will be liable for any loss or damage to the bailor which arises due to the negligence or lack of reasonable care of the goods bailed.
The bailee is not liable if the delay in delivering the goods or disposal of goods is due to default of others. Unexplained failure to return the thing bailed is presumed to be by the bailee's default;12And it would be presumed as his negligence.
In a bailment for mutual benefit, the bailee must take reasonable care of the bailed property. A bailee who fails to do so may be held liable for any damages incurred from his or her NEGLIGENCE.
The bailee is liable for any damages arising from their own negligence or the negligence of others who gain access to the item, for example, the item is stolen by an unknown third party while in the borrower's possession, or someone else uses the borrowed car while in the borrower's possession.
In either case reasonable disclaimers of liability are allowed. If the bailed goods need repair while in the bailee's possession, the usual rule is that ordinary repairs are the bailee's responsibility, extraordinary ones the bailor's.
In a mutual benefit bailment, the standard of care is that of reasonable care. Failure to use reasonable care may subject the bailee to liability for any damages that may occur, unless the bailee limits its liability.
