Not very bright huh? He was hired by the franchisee or his manager so Wendy’s most certainly is liable.
Uhhhh…Generally speaking companies are not liable for intentional acts like this.
Obviously there are exceptions and circumstances can make them liable, but in general they wouldn’t be.
(Wendy’s will settle with the family to make it go away though)

Let me just take this opportunity to say Wendy’s needs to bring back those delicious chicken tenders. Also we must bring back 99 cent double stacks. Yes I’m fat.

Again, generally speaking even in our litigious society, in most cases companies are not responsible for the unforeseen unintentional acts of employees.
They will settle though. For a lot.

The employee’s act can be intentional. The claim is for negligent hiring

Yes Negligent hiring would generally be the way to go in this situation. Still is usually a tough case.
Doesn’t matter though. Wendy’s will settle. Quickly. For a lot.

I've been through enough lawsuits with my franchise to know this. Grifters get paid

Seeing the video, with a person that old and sort of decrepit…that should be attempted murder IMO. A punch like that could very easily kill someone like that, and has before.

I’m sure it can be but from what I’ve read this guy had an extensive criminal history. The plaintiffs likely don’t need to settle it and can do well at trial depending on venue

I didn’t get that far in the thread but did just see his criminal history on page 3.
Negligent Hiring will be a big component but I have seen some states that frown on using criminal history for proof of that especially in low level jobs like this.

Go frick yourself. I’m sure if it were your parent you’d be singing a different tune.
It isn’t like the victim claimed he slipped and fell and the video showed nothing

Par for the course.

Well it has again. It is upgraded to manslaughter.

Sad as hell, I believe in karma for this POS

Some one is a little testy tonight. The employee should bear this responsibility. Not the business because some lawyer lnows that is where the money is. We will jsut have to agree to disagree. Dollars doesnt replace a family memeber for me

If there is a history of behavioral issues while working for the location and yet he still remained employed, that’s a big fricking problem.
Should Wendy’s have to pay? Not sure if they should but they will.
But if details of this guy’s employment come out and it shows prior issues, it could raise any payout dramatically.

And I would accept negligence then but none of us have that information

Man, it’s not the fault of the shareholders of Wendys. Many of you idiots who upvoted this are the very people who will be paying for the damages.
If I was a shareholder and saw my stock go down, I’d be pissed that I had money in a company that failed to do a basic background check and risk assessment.

Did Wendy's have a page in their corporate handbook on sucker punching and killing a guest? Stop acting like a profitable business that makes money is the bad guy in situations where a dumbass did what their dna told them to do. Jesus, a manager running a fast food joint is supposed to undo at least 18 years of shitty parenting? Give me a break
You’re confusing “bad guy” with responsibility. Wendy’s isn’t the bad guy. The POS that took a swing is the bag guy. But guess what, Wendy’s hired him, and assumes responsibility for what the employer does on their property.

Dollars can pay for the funeral. Dollars can pay for the therapy needed after the sudden and traumatic death of a loved one. Dollars can pay for the hospital bills that will be sent out for a few days of care. Dollars out of a pocket may also make an owner or manager think twice about hiring a piece of shite…and might also make someone do their due diligence with background checks.
