Joint-and-several liability means that a principal can be held liable for the full amount of damages resulting from an agent's tortious act, even if the principal did not directly engage in any wrongful conduct. This is because the law recognizes the principal-agent relationship and the principal's responsibility for the agent's actions within the scope of their employment.
