imputed negligence

Read a random definition: in fine

A quick definition of imputed negligence:

Imputed negligence is when one person's negligence is charged to another person, usually because of a special relationship between them. For example, a parent might be responsible for some of their child's actions. Negligence is when someone fails to be careful enough and causes harm to someone else. It's like not paying attention and accidentally breaking something. Gross negligence is when someone is extremely careless and puts others in danger, like driving recklessly.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Imputed negligence is when the negligence of one person is charged to another person. It can happen when there is a special relationship between the two parties, such as a parent being responsible for the actions of their child. Negligence is the failure to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in a similar situation. It is any conduct that falls below the legal standard established to protect others against unreasonable risk of harm, except for conduct that is intentionally, wantonly, or willfully disregardful of others' rights.

Examples: A common example of imputed negligence is when a parent is held responsible for the actions of their child. For instance, if a child causes an accident while driving a car, the parent may be held liable for the damages. Another example is when an employer is held responsible for the negligence of their employee. For example, if an employee causes an accident while driving a company vehicle, the employer may be held liable for the damages.

Explanation: These examples illustrate imputed negligence because the negligence of one person (the child or the employee) is charged to another person (the parent or the employer) due to their special relationship. In both cases, the person charged with imputed negligence may not have been directly involved in the accident, but they are held responsible because of their relationship with the negligent party.
