Two entrepreneurs in Hartford begin operating a food truck business as a general partnership but never file any formation documents with the state. They agree to split profits and losses equally. One partner, while negligently operating the food truck, causes an accident resulting in significant damages to another vehicle. Who is liable for the damages?

The negligent partner is solely liable. The partnership entity is solely liable, and the partners' personal assets are shielded. Both partners are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of the damages. Only the non-negligent partner is liable, as the negligent partner was acting outside the scope of partnership business.

Correct Answer:

Both partners are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of the damages.
