Background Screening Products

County Civil searches can reveal lawsuit patterns offering insight into an applicant’s financial stability, professional conduct and personal character.

Clients hiring contractors or applicants who have previously engaged in contract work in the past commonly utilize this search. It can reveal if an individual has been sued for bad work or has operated without a license.

This search is also useful for mid to upper level management positions where an employer is interested in seeing if any patterns of unethical behavior exist on the applicant’s background in the form of repeated lawsuits and legal action.

As with our County Level Criminal search, County Civil Court searches are conducted in person by insured and licensed researchers working in tandem with court administrators to produce the most up to date civil records available.

A county civil search report will return any lawsuit actions either initiated by an applicant or directed against them by an individual, a business or government entity.

This search can return (but is not limited to) the following information:

• Type of case
• Plaintiff
• Defendant
• Disposition
• Filing date
• Judgment

Because civil court records are normally only filed by name and do not typically include dates of birth or social security numbers, it is often necessary to pull the complete file to determine if a case actually belongs to your applicant. Backgrounds Online is able to pull files, but there is usually a fee involved and we provide you an estimated cost prior to initiating the work.
