How do you beat Respondeat superior?

To beat the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, you would need to show that the employee was not acting within the scope of their employment when the incident occurred, or that they were acting outside of the course of their job duties. You could also argue that the employee’s actions were intentional and not accidental. Additionally, you may present evidence to demonstrate that the employer had no control or direction over the employee’s actions at the time of the incident.
