Philadelphia Work Injury Lawyers
to be negligent in its hiring, retention, and/or supervision of that employee. This essentially means that an employer can be held legally responsible for a personal injury or wrongful death if it did not exercise reasonable care in hiring or training its employees, and this was the proximate (most likely, probable) cause of the victim’s injuries.

Negligent Hiring, Retention & Supervision of Employees
Successfully bringing a claim involving negligent hiring practices, negligent retention, or negligent supervision will require that the plaintiff (injured party) prove:
- The defendant (at-fault party) owed a duty of care to the plaintiff;
- This duty was breached in some way;
- The plaintiff suffered quantifiable injuries; and
- The plaintiff’s injuries were caused by that breach of duty.
For example, Auto Shop A hires Joe without performing an adequate background check. Joe attacks another worker at the shop, causing serious injuries. It turns out that Joe had a history of violence, including two arrests and a conviction for aggravated assault. In this scenario, the injured worker may have grounds for a valid claim against Auto Shop A for negligent hiring practices.

"I have had the privilege of connecting with Kevin Marciano on many matters as an attorney. Additionally, I have referred his firm multiple people who were in need of his services.

"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin
Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised
of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in
a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of
my life back."
- Client
"Kevin and Pat represented me in my fall off a ladder. The money I received
will let me live in a place where I can move and get around. Also, while
I am still badly injured, I know I will not have to worry about money again."
- Client
Kevin and Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!
