  Negligent Hiring Liability

Have you hired your next lawsuit?

More than ever before, courts are issuing verdicts holding companies liable for the criminal, harmful and injurious acts of their employees. This is commonly referred to as Negligent Hiring Liability, wherein courts hold employers responsible for determining existing conviction records. It arises in situations where an employer hired an employee who later commits a crime against either fellow employees or their customers. These lawsuits claim that the employer failed to perform due diligence in the hiring process by not adequately checking the background of the employee.

There are in excess of two million incidents like this every year. They can financially devastate a company and destroy years of goodwill from the resultant negative publicity. In the majority of these cases, if the employer had conducted some basic background check on the prospective employee, the employee either would not have been hired or would have been only hired for a position where they could not harm the company or their patrons.
