When a business fails to properly vet its employees and someone gets hurt as a result, the employer may be liable under a negligent hiring claim. Whether it’s a violent assault, financial theft, or injury caused by unqualified staff, these cases can cause lasting harm. As a Negligent Hiring Practices Lawyer in Houston, Attorney Karan Joshi works with victims and families to hold employers accountable for making careless hiring decisions that put others at risk.
Negligent hiring happens when an employer hires someone without proper background checks, leading to harm that could have been prevented.
Hiring someone with a violent or criminal background without proper checks can make the employer legally responsible for resulting harm.
Employers who overlook missing certifications or training may be liable if the employee’s inexperience causes injury.
If an employee had a known record of harassment, theft, or negligence, hiring them anyway could be considered a breach of duty.
When businesses fail to verify a driver’s record and that driver causes a serious crash, the company can be held accountable.
Patients are at risk when hospitals or nursing homes hire workers with histories of abuse, negligence, or credential fraud.
Employing untrained or violent individuals as guards or bouncers may lead to wrongful assault, false detention, or excessive force.
Hiring staff without background checks in apartment complexes or office buildings can result in theft, harassment, or worse.
In all these cases, the responsibility doesn’t end with the individual—it may start with the employer.
These cases involve sensitive legal and factual issues. Here’s how Attorney Karan Joshi helps build a strong case:
We gather employment applications, references, prior disciplinary records, and background checks to show what the employer missed or ignored.
We demonstrate that a reasonable employer would have discovered the employee’s past and understood the potential danger.
To succeed, your case must clearly link the poor hiring decision to the injury or misconduct. We present that connection with evidence and expert input.
Employers often deny responsibility or try to bury the facts. We cut through the delays and fight for justice on your behalf.
Negligent hiring claims are directed at the employer, not just the employee who caused harm. Responsible parties may include:
Retail stores, cleaning companies, home service providers, and other businesses that hire workers without screening them properly.
City agencies, public schools, and transportation departments must follow strict hiring policies—or face consequences if they don’t.
If a recruiting agency sends an unqualified or dangerous person to your workplace or home, they can be held accountable.
Most companies won’t share internal files unless legally forced to, requiring formal discovery and legal pressure.
The law requires proof that the risk was foreseeable, meaning it should have been discovered during a proper hiring process.
Negligent hiring is often tied to negligent retention or supervision. We know how to structure claims so nothing is left out.
