Help Protect Your Company Against Negligent Hiring Lawsuits
As an employer, your insurance agent and attorney have likely advised you to have various kinds of insurance to protect your company. You may even have insurance that pays in the event your company is sued for negligent hiring practices.
It’s important to know, however, that insurance is unlikely to cover all the financial costs of negligent hiring activities. Equally important are all the non-financial costs if you hire an employee who later commits murder, assault, rape, or armed robbery against a customer or another employee! Negligent hiring lawsuits are just one more great reason you should do thorough employee screening and background checks prior to hiring.
