Negligent Hiring Liability
Negligent hiring litigation is a growing problem. Employers lose 72% of all
negligent hiring suits and the average jury plaintiff awarded in employment
law cases continues to be in excess of $1,000,000. Damages are awarded against
employers because of the employer's negligence and failure to perform a reasonable
search into the employee's background prior to hiring.
