The Federal Firm - Trial Attorneys

Discrimination (Age); Health Care Service; Negotiated Settlement

A healthcare worker in an Atlanta hospital was demoted and subsequently discharged; she was 57 years of age at the time. Although it was denied, the Firm obtained testimony that the employee's supervisor was overheard saying that the employee was "too old to handle the job." The suit was settled on the eve of trial for an amount which the defendant hospital insisted be kept confidential as a part of the settlement.
