What is ENTIRELY being missed in Discrimination Lawsuits are Mental Health Discrimination in the workplace. I’m 2016 I entered a Complaint, and I ended up settling instead of a trial. So in my eyes, I won and BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THIS TYPE OF DISCRIMINATION. Most people with mental health issues don’t even realize that they are covered under ADA. I am currently in the process of preparing another complaint, and I didn’t use a lawyer last time or this time. I’m very knowledgeable in law and very knowledgeable about every incident that happened to me. The DOHR even commented that it was the best layman’s Complaint they ever received. I’ve told everybody I know, no matter how much you love the job when you get it, document everything! I’m asking for past & future earnings this time. I’m 63.

Great video!💜 I think you’re spot on with extraordinary circumstances. I’m working with a lawyer for fmla/retaliation/disability discrimination and thought I didn’t have a case because I had quit. However, the stress from discrimination and being unable to use fmla to treat my condition created a monster flare up on Christmas Eve of all days and I could no longer work, and was so autoimmune-sick that I didn’t even have energy to take medicine or eat. I learned that it’s really worth it to have a lawyer evaluate your circumstances. I’m unsure how it will turn out for me, but I’m really glad that I’m standing up for myself and my rights!

@@The49ers23Call an attorney. I have IBS with a tortuous colon diagnosed by a gastroenterologist. My employer said they cannot (meaning will not) provide accommodations for me to use the bathroom. At my job, I sit in a patient’s room from 3.5-6 hours and can’t leave, can’t take a drink of water. None of this was in the job description. They forced me to go on LOA. They told me specifically that I am not allowed to work, do continuing education from their website, nothing. My regional manager told me that he sent some emails to my work email and if I need to communicate with him further, then I need to use work email. I told him I was told not to work or speak to my managers at all and checking my email is considered work. I said I’d be more than happy to come back to work. What accommodations do you have in place for when I do. They told me in writing they cannot accommodate me. So I got in touch with a pro bono lawyer and we have a meeting set up

@@ForeverYoungKickboxer I settled in mediation. It was less than hoped for of course, but it was something (equivalent to about a year's salary). My lawyer absolutely blew it. I ended up doing nearly all the research, and handling the mediation myself. She just sat there silent, and tried to get me to settle much lower. I just kept saying no, and got twice what she told me to settle for, which was still only 10% of what she'd been telling me for weeks to push for. I was mad enough at her she ended up waiving the balance of some fees she billed me for, when I told her I thought it was unreasonable for me to pay her anything more above my retainer (I was particularly annoyed for all the charges for my sending her all the case precedent research I did, because she didn't have her own staff do it herself). I was over a barrel and needed the settlement soon. I couldn't wait another year for a court case, and she proved herself untrustworthy and ill informed, so I would have had to find another lawyer anyway. A mess.

I may have just secured counsel; right now, we are considering amount for demand letter. Thus far, via EEOC Position Statement, Employer spelled both my first and name wrong 🙄 (but thank you 😁), contradicted their own reasons for firing me (stating everyone needs to stay home still symptoms disappear, but they fired me for being sick?! After I had a bad reaction to flu shot for which they refused to accommodate waiver.) They provided not one piece of documentation, while under my name is Evidence 1, 2, 3, ...6 and counting.

What can I do if my workplace doesn’t have an HR? My workplace is a private own market and they’re bs right now! Poor management and lying overdramatic supervisors. I’ve approached the store owner about the harassment and issues I’ve been dealing with and all he told me was either put up with it or leave if I don’t like it. Is it wrongful for him to tell me to leave the job? Cause I believe it is especially when I’ve done nothing wrong. They’ll be accusing me of things I haven’t done to. He’s always siding and finding ways to cover up the fake managers even when they are bold face lying infront of him and he knows smh. They’re trying so hard to get me to quit to the point where they cut my schedule to 2-3 days only and I usually work 5 days. And they’ll be trying to find every reason to argue with me and to write me up 🤬 They cut my days to after I requested the weekend off for my aunts funeral! What’s ridiculous is how they make fun of me or mock my language when they’re working in a Asian market 😒

Great question. If your employer is not communicating with you and you are ready to return to work, I would send a few emails saying that you're ready to return to work. I would also politely ask to be paid for the monies that are owed. If the employer refuses to communicate with you, put something into the follow up emails that says, "I'm going to assume that you've decided to terminate me if I don't hear back from you soon." If they don't respond, then you have your answer and its pretty much in writing.

I recently filed a DFEH case on salary disparity, since I was rehired. The university wants me to retire as I am 63 years. Numerous documents on the trial court website state that they (university hired lecturers who are cheaper and younger in age). The discrimination and harrasment is ongoing. My low salary has also affected my pension benefit. A) Will I need to go through another Jury trial for discrimination?

I am in California. I experienced sexual harassment and I complained to management with details in writing. I still had to work closely with this person. When his girlfriend who also worked for the company found out she bagan bulliying & age discriminating me (California work age discrimination is age 40 and I am 41) . I also put that in writing. Well after putting up with this for a month & management ignoring me I ended the bullying & had a major argument with the girlfriend (no physical violence). I then reported this to HR and then we were both suspended then I was terminated. They denied my EDD benefits so I appealed. The manager lied in court said I was the aggressor so that is why they fired me. Judge asked management did the other party get terminated he said no😮😮 Judge also ask why did it take them 30 days to fire me if I was so violent? They never investigated my sexual harassment complaint. Waiting on results of appeal. Also reported them to LB for not paying me after termination. Also have a letter saying employer needs to pay me for not cutting my final pay & California fines but they have a right to dispute which may take longer if they do.

@braniganrobertsonlaw
@braniganrobertsonlaw 3 жыл бұрын
Great question. From my understanding, the underlying compensatory award for that worker was around $1m. The jury, being unaware of the 9x cap, awarded her $185m. My guess is the Judge cut the verdict down to 9x shortly after trial. So, unless the defense lawyers were the worst in the history of the world, there is no way that worker got the full $185m verdict. Most of the time when the public hears about huge verdicts like this, the plaintiff doesn't get the full amount. Post trial motions & appeals usually cut down huge verdicts.

Hi Branigan, I'm not in Cali. Would this be a discrimination case? and I know it's just your hunch, not official "legal advice" what would your gut run with. Fired during work comp and post heart operation, lost all insurances to even know recovery progress. Can you touch on being fired after a heart operation? Within 2 months after an operation, 6 months after short manhole structural failure falling to knees inside and breaking ribs on lid. plus you may find this case a fun thing to think on. While we know a heart condition does fall into the ADA's protection, since nothing was already set up with the ADA & employer, can that still be considered discrimination, Or at least a discriminatory act? it's also confirmed beyond a doubt that the company used a false pretense for the dismissal claiming department downsizing while transferring other employees to a new department and letting me go. All while saying I was eligible for rehire. Sidenote, There's over 100 positions in the company so always something open, they had been advertising for open positions just prior to my dismissal, my supervisor at the time I was told was the actual head of the supposed department that was downsizing, so I wasn't informed offered a chance to transfer. When I went to the main office on the day of termination I picked up new printed assignments from one of my other managers and this means none of them had any clue I was about to be hit with this. Lastly this is following a work injury where a structural failure happened 6 months prior and I fell into a manhole 3 feet deep and broke ribs. It feels retaliatory if not straight up discriminatory for having recently taken PTO for a heart operation.

Where were you when I was presured to quit and humiliated by new manager in my department at this conglomerate type company I worked for 3 years in IT before him. He was actually fired after a couple of months for laying to other subordinates that used to be in my team mee being the team leader. There was upper management avoidance/negligence to handle the issues reported by me or other team members after they hired the new manager.

Hate discrimination from your own people and I wondered why I am bipolar, etc etc. I have left El Paso most of the time went to 7 or 8 cities and 3 small towns. I come back to El Paso Tx and it is still the same discrimination at job places. Nobody cares managers, supervisors, assistants supervisors, Ethics. It is all bunch of crap. Even big companies like Amazon. There is a lot of Discrimination where I work at right now. BULLSHIT.

We live in a society where virtually any kind of conflict, grievance, and disagreement can potentially be grounds for a litigation. Predatory lawyers get rich by gaming America's lawsuit culture. This is the reason why we have to have labels on the packaging of fishing hooks that reads "harmful is swallowed" and why children's playground equipment doesn't spark the interest of a child over the age of 5.

Great info. In reality . A injury from incident at employment place . Never gotten proper treatment and doctors are probly right from statements and referring that's it's natural due to aging. But a none work place incident related but from another earlier incident date. Redresal in federal court , discrimination tort not filing report until later date and fraud committed as incident date is wrong . Not getting medical treatment from getgo even tho Dr's are probably right that's injury is normal as aging of disease. Surgery needed. But issue is...why hide info real date and why didn't tge Dr's informed me from the beginning of all this so at least I could of been informed and addressed it on my behalf understandable
