Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corporation is responsible for the actions of its employees while conducting company business, including any damages that may occur. This is known as vicarious liability or respondeat superior. The corporation may have insurance to cover such incidents, but ultimately it is responsible for paying for the damages. The stockholders, board of directors, and founder are not typically held personally liable for the actions of an employee in this scenario.
