I was just looking at this in the context of the Rogel Aguilera-Mederos (110 year sentence) truck-crash case the other week. IANAL, but as I understand it there's a legal concept called "respondeat superior" and the "McHaffie Rule" that may complicate that assertion. A lawyer could and probably would stomp me on this description, naturally.

Respondeat superior means the employer is also liable, not solely liable. Again, the tortfeasor is always liable. Iaal.
