Negligent Supervision of Employees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Negligent supervision of employees occurs when an\nemployer or manager fails to ensure that their staff is properly adhering to all\ncompany policies, regulations, and safety standards. This responsibility\nincludes avoiding wrongful behaviors themselves, as well as preventing wrongful\nactions of their employees. If an employer does not take the proper steps or\nprecautions to ensure these standards, and as a result, an employee or customer\nis injured, they can be held liable for all damage and losses resulting from\nthe accident under the legal principle of negligent supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of Employee Negligent Supervision:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 An employer fails to provide and ensure proper\ntraining for jobs that require using dangerous weapons, chemicals, tools, or\nmachinery.  Also if they fail to properly supervise the use of such\nobjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 An employer allows or ignores sexual advances or harassment of another employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 An employer allows an employee to drive or operate machinery while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 An employer is responsible for monitoring an employee that works from a satellite office or at home, and that employee is conducting company-related scams or personal scams on company time or while using company property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 An employer chooses to ignore acts of violence or threats in the workplace, or dismisses complaints from co-workers about such behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 An employer allows a convicted child sex offender to be alone with minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proving Negligence<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As a victim of an accident that resulted from someone\nelse\u2019s disregard to supervise, you have the burden of proving their negligence.\nThere are four elements to proving negligence in a personal injury case. It\nmust be proven that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u278a The defendant had a duty of care, or legal\nobligation to monitor the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u278b The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u278c The failure to uphold their duty of care caused the\nvictim to suffer damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u278d The injury that occurred as a result of employer\nnegligence was reasonably foreseeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most situations, if a victim can prove that all\nfour of these elements are true, they likely have a basis for a negligent\nsupervision claim. Always talk to a licensed Indiana personal injury lawyer for\nadvice on pursing a claim for negligent supervision. You could be entitled to\ncompensation for your damages and losses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
