Public Access to Court Records

by Jacques S Eskena (aka SavvyBusiness)

Taking risks is part and parcel of the make up of any business nowadays. For example court records show that 60 % of new businesses fail within the first year of business (that’s about one in every 4) and over a course of a 5 year period this number rises significantly to three in five.

These risks are associated with business issues and circumstances which dictate the eventual outcome of a new business venture and as such are “business” related in that they are driven by external sources not always under the control of the business owners. However there are other factors, internal elements which may drive a company out of business.

Workers operating heavy equipment for example introduce an added element of risk into the equation. Likewise, businesses operating motor vehicle also fall within this category where the human factor becomes a risk.

These human factors can reach far and beyond the confines of a business place of work. Indeed any business sending employees to customer’s homes, dealing with children or disabled people or involved in other such interactive activities between employees and customers places itself in a position of added risk, with regards to liability issues.

When mistakes happen, not only can liability insurance premium be raised, but so does the probability that the company may find it increasingly difficult to stay in business also increase.

In other words, the actions of a single careless employee can significantly alter the delicate balance between success and failure, and plunge the business in a situation which can at best be costly in terms of customer service and or litigation costs, or at worse be fatal to the business.

Of course it is impossible to foresee every element of a workforce method of operation and ensure that mistakes do not happen. Frailty is part of human nature, and as humans, we make mistakes.

Business owners must therefore ensure that only the right people are employed so that should a mistake be made, it is not made by an employee with court records showing a less than desirable employment history or worse.

We live in a society which takes the liberty and privacy of all citizens very seriously and thus the notion of court records sometimes has disturbing effects on those who are confronted with the task of recruiting a potential employee.

And as we live in litigation’s world where large sums of money are rendered in compensation by courts all over the nation, the responsibility of a business owner lies not with the need to preserve the privacy of potential employees but rather with the absolute necessity to discover every thing there is, before it is too late!

By all means, individual liberties should be protected at all costs but when other employees stand to lose their jobs because of the actions of one careless worker with a checkered history then obtaining court records on all prospective employees is the very least a business owner should do to protect his business and the job security of the other employees.
