Respondeat Superior

The respondeat superior doctrine requires one person to pay for the harm caused by another person--a form of substituted liability. This is an important subset of vicarious liability that applies when there is an employer-employee relationship.

What stories have you heard about employers being liable for the acts of their employees?

Thank you for all your explanations, it is helping me in my Paralegal course. I especially like that you do not make the explanations boring. Very informative.

Wonderful explanation! Not a law student, but an MBA guy. Came across a case study wherein there was a discussion on- "employee as an agent of the company." Got to learn more than what I was looking for. A non-law student could understand such was your explanation style. Thank you :)

[@Learnlawbetter]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.

Hi! I love your videos and I think they’re super helpful. I am in high school right now and was wondering what I could do to prepare to become a lawyer.

[@Learnlawbetter]

Work on getting good grades so you can get into a great college. Make sure to pick a major to get A’s in college. Start thinking about law school in your second year of college.

.......what happens if an employee, in a company car, causes property damage to a drive through window while stopping for coffee?

[@Learnlawbetter]

The employee is always liable for his own torts. Though under this concept, the employer is also liable.
