B) Vicarious liability serves tort law's compensatory function by increasing the possibility that the tortfeasor will receive damages from someone.
C) A person who is injured by a tort that was committed by an employer personally can use the doctrine of vicarious liability to sue any of the employer's employees.
D) As a general rule, employees who pay damages for torts that they personally committed, whether or not those torts occurred in the course of employment, are entitled to use the doctrine of vicarious liability to recover that same amount of money from their employers.
