<p>/PRNewswire/ -- 圣地亚哥的陪审团裁定，Sullivan Properties, Inc.（以 Fairgrove Property Management 名义经营）因员工的下背部受伤而歧视该员工，在他寻求合理住宿后对其进行报复，并未能为其提供合理住宿，判决金额为 2,335,000 美元。</p>
<p>Franklin Law PC 的 Zak Franklin 代表 Fairgrove 的一名模范员工 Edgar Figueroa 提起诉讼，指控错误解雇、残疾歧视及其他与就业相关的违规行为。</p>
<p>根据证词和文件，Edgar 在搬动 Fairgrove 人力资源部门负责人指示他搬动的桌子时严重受伤。Edgar 遭受了严重的下背部伤害，这在 FEHA 下被视为残疾。当 Edgar 前往急救室时，同一位人力资源负责人开始寻找文件以证明因表现原因解雇他的合理性。当她找不到任何证据时，她与公司的领导层密谋伪造文件，声称他们在 Edgar 受伤之前就计划裁撤他的职位。</p>
<p>在受伤后，Edgar 通知了雇主，并提供了一份医生的证明，限制他搬运超过 15 磅的物品，并请求在他能再次走路之前允许远程工作。根据投诉，该公司的人力资源代表对为他提供合理住宿表示怀疑，并暗示他将继续提交医生的证明以获得残疾住宿，尽管他之前没有这样的历史。</p>
<p>Edgar 的法律团队指控公司并没有以善意的互动过程来确定合理的住宿，而是朝着解雇的方向发展。</p>
<p>在审判期间，Fairgrove 的人力资源负责人承认在诉讼中提供了虚假证词，而 Fairgrove 的首席执行官则证实公司对 Edgar 的情况处理得 “无可挑剔”。</p>
<p>就在几天后，圣地亚哥的陪审团裁定 Edgar 获得 2,335,000 美元的赔偿：35,000 美元的工资损失，1,000,000 美元的情感痛苦赔偿，以及 1,300,000 美元的惩罚性赔偿。Fairgrove 还将被要求支付 Edgar 的律师费和费用，这可能使 Edgar 的总赔偿超过 3,335,000 美元。</p>
<p>&#34;Edgar 是一个努力工作的员工，愿意做 Fairgrove 要求的任何事情，公司在他变得残疾之前很高兴能有他在团队中，然而 Fairgrove 的领导层决定抛弃他，&#34; Franklin Law PC 的律师 Zak Franklin 表示。&#34;我们相信这个裁决确认了所有员工，即使是短期或低薪员工，也应得到公正，陪审团愿意根据原告的薪水或任期授予可观的赔偿。&#34;</p>

<p>, /PRNewswire/ -- A San Diego jury handed down a verdict of $2,335,000 finding Sullivan Properties, Inc. d/b/a Fairgrove Property Management discriminated against an employee because of his lower back injury, retaliated against him after he sought accommodation, and failed to accommodate him.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>Franklin Law PC 的 Zak Franklin 代表 Fairgrove 的一名模范员工 Edgar Figueroa 提起诉讼，指控错误解雇、残疾歧视及其他与就业相关的违规行为。</p>
</div><p>According to the testimony and documents, Edgar severely injured his back while moving a desk that the head of Fairgrove's HR department instructed him to move. Edgar suffered a serious lower back injury, which qualified as a disability under FEHA. While Edgar was on his way to the emergency room, the same head of HR went about searching for documentation to justify terminating him for performance reasons. When she couldn't find any, she conspired with the company's leadership to create false documentation and claim that they planned to eliminate Edgar's position before he got injured.</p>

</div><p>After his injury, Edgar notified his employer and provided a doctor's note restricting him from lifting more than 15 pounds and requesting permission to work remotely until he could walk again. According to the complaint, the company's human resources representative expressed skepticism about accommodating him and suggested he would continue submitting doctor's notes to obtain disability accommodations, despite having no prior history of doing so.</p>

</div><p>Rather than engaging in a good-faith interactive process to determine reasonable accommodation, Edgar's legal team alleged the company moved toward termination.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Edgar 的法律团队指控公司并没有以善意的互动过程来确定合理的住宿，而是朝着解雇的方向发展。</p>
</div><p>During trial, Fairgrove's Head of HR admitted to providing false testimony in the litigation while Fairgrove's CEO testified that the company handled Edgar's situation &#34;flawlessly.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>在审判期间，Fairgrove 的人力资源负责人承认在诉讼中提供了虚假证词，而 Fairgrove 的首席执行官则证实公司对 Edgar 的情况处理得 “无可挑剔”。</p>
</div><p>Just days later, a jury in San Diego awarded Edgar $2,335,000: $35,000 in lost wages, $1,000,000 in emotional distress damages, and $1,300,000 in punitive damages. Fairgrove will also be required to pay Edgar's attorney fees and costs, which will likely bring Edgar's total recovery to over $3,335,000.</p>

</div><p>&#34;Edgar is a hard worker who was willing to do anything that Fairgrove asked and the company was happy to have him on board until he became disabled, at which time Fairgrove's leadership decided to discard him,&#34; said attorney Zak Franklin of Franklin Law PC. &#34;We believe this verdict confirms that all employees, even short term or lower paid employees, deserve justice and juries are willing to award substantial damages regardless of a plaintiff's salary or tenure.&#34;</p>
