Boy that's some legalese. If an employee causes injury while acting in the scope of his employment, the employer is legally responsible to the injured party.
Re: employee liability/employer liability

As Mr. Roth points out, damages caused by an employee within the scope of employment cause liability to the employer through the law of agency.
