An employer can use several defenses against a civil claim, including the argument that the employee did not meet the legal requirements for the claim, such as failing to prove negligence or breach of duty. They may also assert that the employee contributed to their own injuries or damages through their actions, known as comparative negligence. Additionally, employers can invoke contractual defenses, such as arbitration clauses or waivers of liability, if applicable. Lastly, they may argue that the claim is barred by the statute of limitations, meaning it was filed after the legal time frame for such claims.
