Vicarious liability is a legal term stating an employer can be deemed liable for the actions of another.
Importantly, the ‘employer’ does not have to be at fault for the accident, and can be deemed liable if found to have authority over the actions of the person who caused the accident, or if found to be responsible for their actions in another way.
Because the employment status of temporary workers can be so unclear, recruitment agencies can be deemed their ‘employer’, hence making them liable for their actions.
This means a recruitment agency can be considered liable for the actions of a temporary worker even when they have not been negligent in the recruitment process.
In such a scenario, the recruitment agency would be considered ‘vicariously liable’ for the actions of the temporary worker.
It may be the case that your contracts require this cover. Most insurers will exclude it but where required, we have specialist markets available that can include this.
If you are unsure on whether you need the cover, feel free to contact us, we are happy to discuss your business insurance requirements with you.
