Verdict: 1.635M (1.5M in Punitive Damages)
Melissa Romero was a sales associate for Defendant Gopher Multimedia where she sold tech advertising products to doctors and other medical professionals. Unfortunately, Ms. Romero had to seek accommodations to help alleviate debilitating back and foot pain. Meanwhile, Ms. Romero also observed that in her view, men were being treated better than women in the workplace.
Ms. Romero was promptly fired when she asked for accommodations and sought a pay raise to level the playing field between what she believed to be gender disparity. It was admitted that these were the reasons she was terminated.
Later, Defendant and its in-house attorney would manufacture evidence to make it appear as if Ms. Romero sexually harassed the CFO of the company in an attempt to justify her termination. It was only through the diligent efforts of Ms. Romero’s counsel that these allegations were disproven and exposed to be lies.
