Maybe so. If John worked for and filed a frivolous lawsuit against Company A, then yeah, Company B may be hesitant to hire John. Of course, Company B has to become aware of the lawsuit. If John discloses that he worked for Company A, then Company B might find out about the frivolous lawsuit by calling Company A for a reference. If John doesn't disclose that he worked for Company A (i.e., lies to Company B about his employment history), then Company B might never find out about it. On the other hand, if John had a legitimate claim against Company A, and Company B does not stray from legal practices, then Company B should have nothing to worry about. The distinction between frivolous and legitimate litigation is one of the reasons I asked questions (which you ignored) in my prior response.
Unless your case was resolved at the appellate level and resulted in a published opinion or received unusual publicity, there's virtually no chance of that happening because trial court records are generally not available via general internet searches.
And maybe a prospective employer will find a lawsuit that someone with the same or a similar name filed and assume it's you and not hire you for that reason. In the world of "what if" and abstract, hypothetical questions, virtually anything is possible.
Yup (and the "explanation" in post #7 in the thread is all but unintelligible).
