推定责任，归责。

A legal doctrine by which liability is extended to a defendant who did not actually commit the tortious or criminal act.

Examples :

"Because of attributions, the company owner, although not directly involved in the employee's negligence, was held liable for the accident caused by that employee while on the job. "
