Marko Law Firm

Can a company be held responsible for an employee’s negligence?

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.
