If the person who actually caused the damage is not a sufficiently solvent debtor, if he is impossible to identify or does not have sufficient liability insurance coverage, liability of the actual wrongdoer will not help the claimant. Hence, the latter will look for other possibly liable persons, particularly those who had to supervise the actual wrongdoer. Indeed, the concept of liability for damage caused by others shows that the person who causes damage with its unlawful conduct will not necessarily be the person who will finish repairing the damage is sustained. The legal system considers that certain people, because of their hierarchical relationship or supervisory control over other individuals, must be liable for the damages they cause. Such is the case of the employer when their employees cause damage to third. Often these rules are vicarious and sometimes they provide liability for rebuttable negligence
