HireRight Background Report Errors Attorney
When HireRight Gets It Wrong — You Have Rights. Our HireRight Background Report Error Attorneys Are Here To Help!
If you’ve lost a job opportunity because of a false or misleading background check from HireRight, you may have a claim under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Despite being one of the largest background screening companies in the U.S., HireRight has a long history of reporting outdated, incomplete, or entirely incorrect information that can unfairly destroy a person’s professional reputation.
At Weiner & Sand LLC, we represent individuals nationwide who have been harmed by HireRight’s background check errors. Our experienced HireRight background report error attorneys fight to hold companies accountable and recover compensation for victims of inaccurate reports.
Common Errors in HireRight Reports
HireRight compiles millions of background reports each year for employers across industries. Unfortunately, its massive database and automated systems often lead to serious mistakes. Common issues include:
- Criminal records that belong to someone else
- Charges or convictions that were dismissed, expunged, or outdated
- Incorrect employment or education history
- Duplicate or inconsistent entries
- Failure to correct known errors after a dispute
Even a single inaccurate detail can cause an employer to rescind a job offer or terminate employment — violations that strike at the heart of your livelihood and reputation.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act Protects You
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was designed to ensure that background check companies like HireRight handle consumer information responsibly. Under this federal law, HireRight must:
- Use reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of information
- Provide you with a copy of your report before an employer takes adverse action
- Allow you to dispute and correct any false or misleading data
- Notify employers when changes are made following a dispute
- Avoid reporting outdated criminal history (generally more than seven years old for non-convictions)
If HireRight fails to meet these legal obligations, you have the right to sue for damages under the FCRA.
What You May Be Entitled To Recover
When HireRight’s mistakes cause real-world harm — such as lost job opportunities, emotional distress, or financial losses — the law allows you to seek:
- Actual damages for lost wages, emotional distress, or reputational harm
- Statutory damages of up to $1,000 per violation
- Punitive damages for willful misconduct
- Attorney’s fees and costs
At Weiner & Sand LLC, we pursue these claims aggressively and handle them on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you.
