Under Florida negligence law, there is a duty among private employers who hire employees whose negligence or intentional acts of employment can foreseeably cause injuries to third parties. Under appropriate circumstance, an employer may be held liable for its negligence in hiring an employee who may constitute a danger to others. To establish a claim for negligent hiring, a potential plaintiff should consult an experienced negligent hiring lawyer to advise him or her on the claim. An experienced West Palm Beach negligent hiring lawyer will prove that:

• An employer was required to make an appropriate investigation of an employee and failed to do so;
  
  

  An appropriate investigation would have revealed the unsuitability of the employee for the particular duty to be performed or for employment in general; and

  It was unreasonable for the employer to hire the employee in light of the information he or she knew or should have known.

  A West Palm Beach lawyer will examine a negligent hiring claim and determine whether the specific danger that ultimately manifested itself could have been foreseen at the time of hiring. An employer is liable for negligent hiring when that employer has somehow been responsible for bringing a third person into contact with an employee, whom the employer knows or should have known is predisposed to committing a wrong, and the employer owes that person a legal duty to protect them from harm.
