Employers May Be Held Responsible For Personal Injury Incidents That Occur At Holiday Parties

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

Employees tend to relax at company-sponsored holiday parties and some may act inappropriately.  An employee may verbally or physically harass another employee or drive drunk and cause a personal injury automobile accident.  Company owners, managers and supervisors should make sure employees know they are expected to drink alcohol in moderation at the holiday party.

It is up to company executives and supervisors to set the tone for a holiday party and prevent incidents which could lead to a personal injury lawsuit.   The company may be held liable for a personal injury incident involving employees during or even after the holiday party.  Company parties can be alcohol-free or provide transportation arrangements for employees who drink too much to safely drive home after the party.
