Cincinnati Negligent Hiring Attorneys
Suffering an injury because an employer was negligent during the hiring process can be both a financial and emotional burden. If an employer is not careful during the hiring process, he may employ someone who is completely unsuited for a job, hence increasing the chances of customer injury. Being careful when hiring truck drivers is especially important because truck drivers share the road with other drivers and pedestrians and the safe operation of a commercial vehicle requires specialized training.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a truck accident that could have been prevented were it not for the failure of a trucking company to screen out an unqualified or dangerous driver, we can help. Contact the Cincinnati negligent hiring attorneys of Stepleton & Dugan, LLC, by calling 513-321-7733. We are dedicated to helping our clients fight for the financial compensation that they are due.
Employer Negligence
It is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that every person hired is not only qualified for the job, but also that he or she is not exceptionally likely to cause harm to others due to deficits in training or experience. Many cases of employer negligence involve:
- Failure to conduct sufficient background checks
- Failure to provide/require drug testing
- Failure to provide/require physical exams
- Failure to properly train employees
- Failure to eliminate candidates whose past behaviors or health conditions make them a danger
An unqualified truck driver could cause an accident that might result in significant injuries or financial losses for others on the roadway, and these individuals deserve to be compensated.
