Unlikely unless you can show that the employer acted with malice or in violation of law.
You may want to discuss this with an attorney. The background company may have liability that the employer does not.

Yes, you may be able to sue your employer if you were fired based on an incorrect background check. It may be considered wrongful termination if your employer failed to conduct a proper background check or relied on inaccurate information. Consult with an employment lawyer to better understand your rights and options in this situation.

If you were fired for theft but not charged will that be on a background check?
It is possible that the reason for your termination may show up on a background check if the employer includes that information. It will depend on the employer's policies and the level of detail they choose to provide. However, if you were not charged with a crime, it is less likely to appear in a standard background check.
Will a background check by a prospective employer find out that you had been fired from your previous job?
Nope, but a reference check will do the trick. If they call your past employers for a reference check, they'll more than likely find out.
Can you get fired after your employer found out you do not have a clean background. First background did not show a record then four months later they did another background and found out?
yep
Can you get fired for theft by check?
That's entirely up to your employer.
When a prospective employer does a background check with your old employer in Texas the old employer tell them you were fired and would they rehire you?
They can't ask this question in this manner. A way around may be for the employer that is hiring you to ask the previous employer are you re-hireable. In most cases they only verify dates of employment and salary for legal reasons. This is the general practice.
Can you be fired for a criminal background check after you are hired?
Yes, an employer may choose to terminate an employee based on the results of a criminal background check if the offense is considered relevant to the job or violates company policy. However, they must still comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding background checks and termination procedures.
Can you be fired for background check after employment?
It seems that if a background check is prerequisite to employment you would have been so advised. If you provided false or misleading information on your job application, and/or if your job requires a security clearance and you are denied, it would seem the employer would be within his right to fire you. Don't rely on the opinions of amateurs like me, though ..... check with an attorney.

Can you be fired if an employer does a background check after you have been working there for 30 plus days?
This is a right to work state. Your employer can fire you at any time. If you are fired after 3 months, you can probably collect unemployment. (There could be an exception if you lied on your job application and there are exceptions for other reasons.) Other states have different laws. Other nations have different laws. You will probably need to give more information on your location such as in Montana, etc.
