The Answer
Yes, often. If an employee causes harm while performing their job, the employer may be legally responsible.
This is called vicarious liability. It applies when:
- The employee was acting within the scope of their job
- The conduct was connected to their work duties
For example, a delivery driver who causes a crash while on the clock may expose their employer to liability.
Companies benefit from their employees’ work. They must also answer for the harm caused.
