I have an example, someone I know filed a suit against an employer due to a back injury. He won and was able to be off work until he was able to work.

Unfortunately, he was never able to get a full time job again. He worked the rest of his career at a temporary agency. He was constantly close to getting a job but never got it.

Many years later it was discovered that the most likely reason he never got a job was likely because during the background search they found the suit and no company wants to deal with someone that they felt had a possibility of suing.

This was in the 90's. Now it's so much easier to find that info. and more. But you would never know about it and how it effect us.



Perfect example. Ruined the guy's life.
