Case Study: Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) Search

Sarah owned a flower shop and hired Brian as a courier to help her deliver the flowers. Brian did well his first couple of weeks on the job and Sarah was initially pleased with his performance. One day Sarah received a call from the local police. Brian had attempted to race a friend in the company delivery van and caused an accident. The driver of the other vehicle was seriously injured and Brian was clearly to blame. The police asked Sarah if she had performed a background investigation on Brian before she hired him. Sarah explained that she had not. It turns out that Brian had an extensive driving record with numerous speeding tickets and reckless driving charges. Sarah not only wasted time and money training Brian, but now her company was liable for Brian's reckless behavior.
