Vicarious liability refers to the legal responsibility of one party for the negligent actions of another. Most commonly, this applies to employer-employee relationships, where an employer may be held liable for the actions of an employee if those actions occur within the scope of their employment. This concept ensures accountability even when the liable party did not directly commit the act.
