Juries Punish Bad Bosses and Protect Employees who file Workers Compensation Claims. / Los jurados castigan a los jefes malos y protegen a los empleados que archivan reclamaciones de compensación.
In this case, the Plaintiff was a long time employee of Chipotle. She’d received excellent reviews from her employer until she got hurt on the job and filed a Workers’ Compensation Claim. The employer retaliated by “cooking up” some false allegations against its employee and used the false accusations as a pretext for firing her.
The employee did the smart thing: she got a lawyer. During the course of litigation, the employer managed to “lose” and “delete” documents relating to the real reason the employee was fired.
The jury heard the facts, considered the evidence and punished the employer for mistreating a good employee.
Are you a good employee who was fired by a bad boss for bogus reasons? We can help you.
