Florida Insights by Bill Perry

As Florida’s Law Firm for Business, Gunster advises many Florida businesses on their employment issues.  However, once in a while, we are asked to represent a person whose legal rights have been abused.  In some cases, our social conscience and morality dictate that we must take certain cases.  Earlier this week, the Gunster employment team won a significant verdict in such a case.  The jury found that our client had been wrongfully dismissed in violation of her legal rights.  Since this dismissal occurred less than a month after her return from multiple surgeries in her on-going battle with breast cancer, the jury awarded our client significant compensatory and punitive damages.  To learn about the details of the case and to hear our client’s compelling story, go to the following links: Sun-Sentinel: Fired cancer patient wins suit and The Palm Beach Post: Post-Cancer Victim wins &8.1 million.
