93. It's called Respondeat Superior.
Quite common to sue employers for the actions of their employers? IT MOST CERTAINLY IS!!!!

Anybody remember when Kermit Washington punched out Rudy Tomjonovich of the Houston Rockets, at a basketball game, and nearly killed him? Back in the 1970s. The company that owned his team was sued under respondeat superior, and Rudy T. got several million dollars in damages, because that one punch ended Rudy's basketball career.

This is just one famous example.

And yes I am a non practicing lawyer.
