Negligent Hiring
What precedent cases would be best
to use in the Florida jurisdiction for
negligent hiring at a public school
that hired a maintenance worker as a
soccer coach and there was no
background check and he slapped
one of the students?

Re: Negligent Hiring
There are not enough facts here.
What would the background check have shown?
There are limitations in suing a governmental entity, like a school. A slap that did not injure, in my judgment, would rarely be worth the effort and expense of a suit.
