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

  • 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.
