Question

You are the owner of a temporary employment agency specializing in providing night security guards to local businesses. One of your recent placements was caught last night stealing property at his job site. The owner of the job site plans to sue you for "negligent hiring." What did that owner reasonably expect from your business and what evidence do you hope you have that will get you out of this unfortunate predicament? Assuming you do extricate yourself from the legal problems, how will you salvage your company's reputation?
