When Can You Sue A Company for the Negligent Actions of Employees?

After a Las Vegas traffic accident, it is the right of victims to sue parties that caused their harm for compensatory damages. In some situations, there can be more than one party who is responsible for the harm that resulted from an accident. Under the law, anyone who could hold any amount of liability can be sued by a victim to obtain the money necessary to cover the costs of a victim’s damages. Typically, the more parties that are involved, the more substantial the devastation caused by the accident.

When Can Businesses Be Liable for Victim’s Damages After An Accident?

There are several situations where it isn’t just the employee’s misjudgments that cause an accident. An employee’s employer may also be to blame and because of this, be held liable to pay victims for their harm. If any of the following happen, a company is at high risk that they may have to pay victims for the harm they endured:

  • When delivery drivers are negligent in their driving behaviors and they cause an accident while they are on the job executing the responsibilities of their position, not only can the driver be held accountable but so can the company they work for.
  • If employers don’t take the time to research and investigate potential employees’ backgrounds and understand their qualifications or their potential risks, they may place an unsafe person in a job they aren’t fully capable of safely performing. When an accident takes place because of an employee with known risks, a company may be liable for the damages that result.
  • Companies must ensure that the employees they hire come to them with the right training and background or obtain the correct instruction for their job when they are hired. If companies fail to ensure that their employees are trained correctly for the job that they have and their misunderstanding of how to do their job turns into an accident where others are injured, a company can be held to account.
  • Companies that don’t keep up with the maintenance necessary for their vehicles or their machinery can be held liable for damages that result from accidents related to poor upkeep. Specifically, when this type of neglect leads to injuries of others, the company will be legally responsible for paying the victim’s damages.
