∙ 15y agoThe answer depends on the laws of the state where the accident occurred, so you must check those first. In general, if the state has Workers Compensation laws and if the injury occurred during the course of and in connection with the job, the person will not be allowed to file a standard lawsuit in court against the employer. Most likely, the person will be limited to filing a Workers Compensation claim in accordance with the Workers Comp laws.

∙ 13y agoyesa, if you can prove the employer was At Fault for the cause of the injury.
The answer above is entirely wrong, and ignores 70 years of Workers Comp law.
If you receive WC benefits because of a work related injury, you are prohibited from suing the employer in federal or state court. All judges will dismiss any attempt to sue the employer. Fault and negligence are not issues - WC is all you get from the employer.
If a third party's negligence caused your at work injury, you can try suing the third party. Proving NEGLIGENCE is notoriously difficult and plaintiffs have the entire burden of proof.

∙ 10y agoA person can sue heir job if they are feel they are not paying enough but it will be difficult to win unless a contract was put in place. Generally, employers must pay a minimum wage but have few pay requirements beyond this.

Wiki User
∙ 16y agoYes, and I've seen it happen too. If you go through with an illegal act against them (such as stealing money or equipment) they can very well take you to court.

The number of employees has nothing to do with whether they can be sued or not.

i pretty sure that the employer can sue...
Can an employer pay for health insurance for one employee and not another?
No, because they would be sued for discrimination and violation of labor laws.
Can you be sued personally for someone's injuries sustained in an auto accident if you were at work driving a company vehicle?
Yes, you would be sued both as an employee (meaning your employert would be sued) and you would be sued personally. This is because it is possible that whatever you were doing might be considered outside the svope of your employment, thereby possibly letting the employer off the hook with you being the sole defendant. That would be standard practice in any such case. Plaintiff sues you and your employer and gets both the employer's and your insurance companies in the case and gets a better chance at getting a settlement because each company mgiht agree to pay half of the damages instead of having only one to foot the entire bill. Plus, even if plaintiff does not sue you, the employer might bring you into the case as a third-party defendant claiming that you were the real one at fault.
Can an employer be sued for age related questions?
It would depend on the situation. In some cases age is a determining factor in certain jobs, for instance you have to be at least 21 to be a bartender.

Can you get sued as an employee if something you built caused injury?
No. Your employer would be responsible, although you may face difficulties if you intentionally made something dangerous so that it would cause injury.
Can your previous employer tell an employer that you were terminated?
There is NO federal law on this; it is a state-by-state issue. Never can an employer be sued for telling the truth, "Pat was fired 15 days ago", since that's true. In many states, a former employer cannot be subject to a suit for defamation for revealing even more details to a prospective employer. A growing trend is to extend "privilege" to the former employer for anything it says about your performance, attendance, or skill. Privileged communication means no defamation suit is possible. Washington employers gained that privilege last year. Check your state rules.
