$120k recovered for maternal leave rights
$80k recovered for disability and age discrimination
$70k recovered for FMLA leave for injury
$92k recovered for employer retaliation
$120k recovered for maternal leave rights
Background: We helped a client who was fired from her job as a bookkeeper at a medium-sized business after revealing her pregnancy. Upon returning to work from her first maternity leave, she faced resistance when discussing potential leave for her second pregnancy. Her manager expressed concern about frequent absences and labeled her prior leave as excessive. She was ultimately terminated before the birth of her second child for alleged performance issues.
Outcome: When we got involved, we sued the company for retaliation under the Paid Family Leave Act and the FMLA. We ended up winning the case, and recovering approximately $120,000 for the client.
Result:
$120,000

$80k recovered for disability and age discrimination
Background: During a routine doctor’s visit, our client found out that he had a heart condition which required surgery. When he provided the doctor's note to his boss, the response was dismissive, expressing concerns about the financial impact on the company and implying our client was getting too old for the job. The boss suggested delaying the surgery, but when our client insisted on prompt intervention as advised by the doctor, he was terminated from his job.
Outcome: We argued that our client was retaliated against for attempting to exercise his rights under the FMLA, and that he had also been discriminated against due to his disability and his age. We ended up recovering approximately $80,000 for our client.
Result:
$80,000

Background: A client who worked in an office job was injured outside of work. He went to the Emergency Room, and used sick time. His doctor told him he needed time off from work to recuperate from his injuries. He told his boss that he would need to use FMLA leave. His boss said he could not afford to have him take time off, and if he wanted to take time off, he could find another job. Our client ended up being terminated.
Outcome: We were able to recover approximately $70,000 for our client because he was fired in retaliation for trying to exercise his rights under the FMLA.
Result:
$70,000

Despite being on FMLA leave after the birth of her child, her boss consistently sent work and insisted on her availability via email. A few weeks postpartum, she was abruptly demanded to come to the workplace for an inventory count. Expressing her exhaustion and the inappropriate nature of the request, she was terminated on the spot, leading her to seek our assistance.
Outcome: We were able to recover $92,000 for her, as she had been fired in retaliation for exercising her rights under the FMLA.
