Employers rely on their employees to carry out their day-to-day tasks and to properly represent the needs of their employers. Unfortunately, at times those acts result in legal liability to third parties. When employees subject their employer to legal liability to third parties, courts use the doctrines of Respondeat Superior or vicarious liability to make the employer responsible for the actions of the employees. The Indiana Supreme Court and the Indiana Court of Appeals have recently issued several decisions concerning these doctrines. Based on these decisions, employers must be even more vigilant in training and preventing their employees from committing acts that may be injurious to their patients, clients, or customers.
