Stolen Valor Lawsuit

If a company is asking if you have ever been in the service than they should do the research to find out if it’s true or not. The company was wrong in this situation because they did not research the qualifications. In this case they hired the employee based off of their preferences to hire a veteran over a non-veteran and not off of legitimacy within their application. The company should have taken the extra time to research the applicant’s information to save them from the potential lawsuit they would face in court.
