Can a company be liable for injury during a job interview?

Employers owe premises liability duties to job candidates as business invitees. Discriminatory physical testing creating injuries actionable. Reasonable accommodations for disabled candidates required. Slip hazards during facility tours common. Stress-induced medical events during interviews covered. Background check injuries from incorrect information possible. Skills testing safety requirements apply. Workers’ compensation doesn’t cover candidates. Negligent misrepresentation about job safety relevant. Travel to interview locations generally excluded.
