This Week's Case - From the Files of
the Johnston Law Firm
Firm Id#: 46-R12775
Los Angeles Superior Court
The client was the victim of employment discrimination when
she was wrongfully terminated after becoming
disabled by her pregnancy. After hiring Mr. Johnston as her employment lawyer, the defendant
took the deposition of the doctor who had certified our client as being
disabled by her pregnancy. However, the doctor testified that she had not
really been disabled, but instead that she had intimidated him into making that
diagnosis. Attorney Johnston promptly named the doctor as an additional defendant
on a medical malpractice claim, and also continued the wrongful termination lawsuit against the
employer. After this occurred the employer decided, in an effort to try to stop our client's continuing wage loss
damages, to offer our client her employment back. Their thinking was that she
would never accept, and they could then argue that they were not responsible for
any continuing wage loss. However, after consulting with Mr. Johnston our
client accepted their offer of employment. After being back at work for only three days, the
employer fired her again. Attorney Johnston then amended the complaint to add
an additional cause of action for wrongful termination. Ultimately, both
the employer and the doctor settled this employment discrimination case, with our client obtaining a
settlement amount substantially higher than original estimates.
