7.25 Liability of Municipality for Failure to Train, Supervise or Discipline is a legal doctrine that holds a municipality or other government entity responsible for the failure of its employees to properly train, supervise, or discipline other employees. This doctrine applies when an employee, under the municipality’s direction or control, causes injury or damage to another person or property due to negligence, recklessness, or other wrongful conduct. There are two types of 7.25 Liability of Municipality for Failure to Train, Supervise or Discipline: active negligence and vicarious liability. Active negligence occurs when the municipality fails to adequately train, supervise, or discipline its employees, resulting in harm or injury to a third party. Vicarious liability takes place when the municipality is held liable for the negligence of its employees, even though the municipality did not actively contribute to the harm caused.
