Vicarious Liability
Who May Be Liable in a Texas Auto Accident Besides the Other Vehicle's Driver?
Vicarious liability is a doctrine that makes one person responsible for another person’s negligent actions. Vicarious liability is often invoked in personal injury cases. For instance, if a person is involved in an accident with a delivery truck, the company that employs the driver may be held accountable for the accident. Vicarious liability invoked in this manner is called respondeat superior.
Vicarious liability is used in order to make sure that employers take the training and supervision of their employees seriously. Employers cannot get away with hiring reckless and negligent employees by simply saying that the employer didn’t directly cause any injuries that come out of his employees negligent actions.
