Pursuing Compensation for Injuries Caused by Poor Hiring and Supervision
Most employers these days conduct background checks on their employees in order to determine whether they have criminal records or other indications that hiring them might put customers, fellow employees and others in danger of attacks or reckless treatment.
When employers fail to do adequate background checks or fail to remove employees when there are signs that they are dangerous, they can often be held liable for negligent hiring.
Nursing homes, hospitals, day care centers, schools and churches must be particularly careful in their hiring, retention and credentialing policies because the people they serve are often in vulnerable positions. However, any employer can potentially be held liable for negligent hiring.
