Which topic is commonly associated with the fellow-worker rule in workplace injury law?

• A. Cross-examination
• B. Co-worker liability
• C. Court fees
• D. Evidence admissibility

Answer: (B)

This question tests how liability among coworkers works in workplace injury cases. The fellow-worker rule is about whether a coworker can be held responsible for injuries to another employee. In many systems, the injured worker’s remedy is through workers’ compensation, not suing a fellow employee in court, so the rule limits co-worker liability. Exceptions can apply if the coworker acted outside the scope of employment or with intentional harm, but the basic idea is about co-worker liability. The other topics—cross-examination, court fees, and evidence admissibility—are about courtroom procedure and evidence rules, not about who may be liable for injuries at work.
