The deep pockets theory relates to tort law. In tort law, employers will often be held vicariously liable for the actions of a negligent employee. This is consistent with the fundamental principle of tort law, which is to compensate victims of negligence. Since employers usually have more money to pay for negligence, they would be in a better position to pay the victims.

In most cases, the company's insurance carrier will pay for damages, as long as the fault causing the accident was not caused by the employee. The employee here is representing the company in this case - if the employee is charged with negligent driving and was cited for causing the accident, the company insurance carrier will most likely pay, but will seek restitution from the employee. Could get into a real sticky situation.
What is the doctrine of vicarious liability?
The doctrine of vicarious liability describes the responsibility of a person for another's torts. The typical example of this is an accident at work - an employee may have caused an injury to another employee through negligence in which case the employer is known to be vicariously liable for the torts of his servants. In other words the employer can be sued directly as though his employee's negligence was his negligence. Please see related links below for an accident at work FAQ by a UK solicitor.
