Many states and municipalities have strict laws regarding fireworks use, leading to numerous arrests and fines for individuals possessing or using illegal fireworks during the holiday.
A recent lawsuit claims Lyft was negligent for failing to conduct a proper background check after an accident left a passenger needing back surgery.
A review of the driver’s record revealed a Florida Highway Patrol citation for driving 98 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 95, six months before the crash in Jupiter. The driver pleaded no contest.
Further investigation uncovered that the driver had made headlines in New York City from 2015 to 2018 due to a sexual assault incident on the subway. Authorities identified him as the individual seen running shirtless away from the station.
Additionally, the driver had two sex crime convictions and a probation violation after serving two years in prison before relocating to Florida.
Walgreens has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over claims it wrongfully denied job applicants employment based on background checks without providing the required FCRA notices.
The settlement benefits individuals who applied to Walgreens between March 30, 2020, and May 17, 2022, and were denied employment based on a background report.
Allegedly, Walgreens sent email notifications that failed to meet Fair Credit Reporting Act standards.
Eligible class members will receive $100 payments, with additional payments up to $818.28 for those who intended to dispute their background check but refrained due to the email notification.
Equifax, through its Workforce Solutions unit, is facing an antitrust lawsuit from home mortgage lenders accusing the company of monopolizing the electronic income and employment verification market.
The lawsuit alleges Equifax’s exclusive contracts and acquisitions of potential competitors have inflated service prices.
Exclusive agreements with payroll providers and large employers have reportedly blocked competitors from accessing essential data, preventing them from building adequate databases.
Plaintiffs claim Equifax spent billions acquiring companies that posed competitive threats and are seeking damages and an injunction against the alleged anti-competitive practices.
