Vicarious Liability

Vicarious Liability or Doctrine of Vicarious Liability is a term used when one party is considered responsible for an action which is considered unlawful by a third party. Third-Party also has its burden of liability. This term defines a status when one party is held responsible for the third party for his unlawful acts. The first party is accounted as responsible when the third party is not willing to fulfil its responsibility. The first party is always understood responsible for the third party. We should keep in mind that Vicarious Liability is a liability which is more than a law. Vicarious Liability Law can be understood with a few easy examples.

An Employee working for a company in that company makes some fraud on behalf of the company in the market. That Employer will also be considered as responsible. Apart from that, any wrongful act done by the employee inside the company will also make the employer responsible if the victimized employee takes an action against the company. There is another example of this, a storage company’s godown catches fire due to a mistake made by an employee. Now the store owner will be liable to all those who were keeping their goods in the storage company. He has to pay the price and compensate all the users of the storage.

Law cannot ignore the importance and involvement of the main party. Therefore, the burden of responsibility will also be applicable to the first party. The first part is the major decision and responsibility holder.
