Indeed, we are rendered responsible by the fragility of polity.
As political undertaking, by contrast, the assumption of responsibility is predicated on an acknowledgement of the extent to which who we are depends on our historical relation to others, the way we are enmeshed in the stories enacted in the world, irrespective of our particular motives and intentions.
Political responsibility thus requires us to act in the "broken middle" between love and law that is the space of politics (Rose 1996), to find the just measure between fleeing responsibility for actions of which we are not the authors and the paralysis that ensues from recognition of an infinite responsibility.

We generally hold people responsible for their actions, and will say that they deserve praise or blame for what they do.
Compatibilists often argue that, on the contrary, determinism is a prerequisite for moral responsibility — you can't hold someone responsible unless his actions were determined by something (this argument can be traced to Hume and was also used by the anarchist William Godwin).
While not mechanistic in the same sense as classical physics, most current scientific theories are also deterministic, by necessity — it is a basic assumption of all scientific endeavors that the future can be predicted.

 Remoteness (Michael Furmston, 12 Feb 2005)
Of course, the driver is not liable even though he foresaw (through specially communicated information) that £20 million would be lost as a result of breach of the undertaking to arrive by 12pm.
The increase in price is not necessary for such an assumption - if the taxi driver was known to be a billionaire or a compulsive gambler, or the airport was next door, then Bill might also reasonably interpret the driver as taking responsibility - but it does the job.
Also, it is my view that the scope of responsibility for personal injury will not be as nicely sculpted by price/insurance and other known factors, since most people cannot be reasonably assumed to take responsibility for their own personal injury arising from breach however cheap the service.

 Principles of the Stewardship Union
Stewardship is the assumption of responsibility for the welfare of the world.
A true steward does not qualify the assumption of responsibility ― it never dismisses a problem as the problem of another.

Here, too, Carter's self-assumption of responsibility is not done out of tender concern for his former colleagues in the military, but out of fear of invoking their wrath.

What is important is the nature of the function carried out, not the qualifications of the person doing it, although if known to the third party, this may make a difference to the question of whether he could reasonably rely upon what was said or done.
It is not unlikely that the third party, who is ex hypothesi dealing with that employer in the context of legal matters in any event, will instruct his own lawyers in due course - indeed, he may already have done so by the time of the contact envisaged.
