The day the supposed incident happened, we have him on camera never unloading a single box. We also have him on camera, walking out on the job, with no indication of injury. What can we do?
A: Notify your insurance company. It will appoint an attorney to defend you and assert all appropriate defenses. Provide the video to the attorney.
A: Since you have been sued, you must respond to the lawsuit. Be sure you understand what type of lawsuit it is (Small Claims Action, Superior Court action, Worker's Compensation action, etc.). You have 30 days to file a response. If you have worker's compensation insurance on your business, contact them for representation.
