NEWS: Kennedy Hunt P.C. landed a favorable ruling for our client, who was injured on the job. The Court ordered Pace Transport, Inc., owned and run by former football player Orlando Pace, to pay $531,000 in damages to our client. Pace claimed to have been unaware of the lawsuit, he has not responded or paid our client since the ruling.
“It’s more than a refusal to pay, it’s a refusal to pay attention at all,” KH attorney Nicole Matlock told the Post-Dispatch.
The ruling found that Pace Transport, Inc. terminated our client’s employment due to her sex (female), her disability due to her on-the-job injury, her complaints of sex discrimination during her employment, and the exercise of her rights under Missouri’s workers compensation laws.
Our client told the Post-Dispatch she was devastated when she lost her job. “I worried about how I was going to feed my family and pay my bills,” she said.
