Denied a Job Due to Background Check Errors? Get Legal Help Now

Most job seekers expect their skills and qualifications to decide their future—not flawed background reports. However, many face wrongful job denials due to inaccurate, outdated, or misreported information on their background checks.

Employers increasingly rely on third-party background screening companies—about 94% now use them for criminal history and employment verification. These checks are meant to protect employers and ensure workplace safety, but false or misleading reports can unfairly block qualified candidates from jobs.

Common Employment Background Check Errors

Inaccurate or Incomplete Reports

A key problem with background checks is incorrect or misleading data, such as:

Sometimes incidents appear multiple times, exaggerating criminal history. Employers may reject applicants based on these errors without explanation.

Case Example – “Falsely Labeled Unqualified”

Our client, a reliable Uber driver, was wrongly flagged during a background check as having a disqualified license—despite having a valid one. As a result, his account was suspended, cutting off his main income source and damaging his professional reputation. The error came from a background check company that failed to verify updated DMV records, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Our legal team filed a formal dispute and pursued legal action. We cleared his record, restored his job, and recovered damages for lost wages and emotional distress. This case highlights the serious impact of background check errors.
