Vicarious Liability

Pay NOTHING Unless We WIN

Our Contingency Fee Policy For Injury Cases

We have a contingency fee agreement with all of our Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury clients. Our fee is based on a percentage of what we obtain for you, and we will not charge you any fee unless and until we settle your case, prevent the loss of your benefits or obtain benefits for you. 

The phrase vicarious liability is a legal concept that refers to one party being accountable for the actions of another when damage or injury occur. This is despite the fact that there was no active involvement in the incident by the liable party. Both individual persons as well as entities can be charged with vicarious liability. These include:

  • Contractors
  • Corporations
  • Employers
  • Hospitals/Clinics
  • Manufacturers
  • Parents
  • Treatment Centers

Vicarious Liability Criminal Law

In today’s culture there are a number of different scenarios implicating a party in a vicarious liability lawsuit such as:

  • Contractors can be charged with vicarious liability if their subcontractors do not fully complete a job or are found guilty in contract violations.
  • Under certain circumstances, parents can be charged with vicarious liability if their child’s actions cause damage, harm or injury to a person or property.
  • Employers can be party to a vicarious liability lawsuit as well. There can be a variety of circumstances such as sexual harassment, discrimination and Workers’ Compensation suits.
  • Manufacturers of certain items of technology may be liable in a vicarious liability suit.
  • Medical negligence where the governing hospital or clinic is held liable for actions of the health care providers it employs.
  • Treatment center or nursing home negligence where institution is responsible for actions of employees.
