I believe the answer is: Constructive or transferred intent

Constructive or transferred intent refers to a legal doctrine that dictates a perpetrator is still responsible for the collateral damages that caused by his/her actions even though those damages is not the perpetrator's main intent.

For example, if you hit car and car that you hit eventually crashed to a hot dog cart, you are responsible for the damage of both the car and the hot dog cart even though you only hit the car.
