Defense Jury Verdict for Employer in Discrimination Case
We obtained a total defense jury verdict for an employer, in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, in a case seeking approximately $500,000 in damages based on alleged race and age discrimination and constructive discharge under the Missouri Human Rights Act. The plaintiff was a former human resources employee who alleged that she was demoted to a non-human resources assignment based on her age and Hispanic race in an effort to force her to quit employment. The defendant denied that any protected characteristics played a role in the assignment and that the plaintiff quit for a better employment opportunity.
