EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION

Since the adoption of the National Labor Relations Act, both the federal and state governments, as well as the courts, have significantly expanded opportunities for employees to sue employers for work-related conditions. The ADA, ADEA, FMLA, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other statutes enacted by the United States Congress have exposed employers to liability which in many cases is not justified. The courts have also expanded the viability of wrongful discharge, defamation and personal injury suits against employers in the latter part of the 20th Century.

These statutes, regulations and "precedents" have placed a tremendous burden upon employers, who face the potential for a multiplicity of claims against them for discrimination, harassment and wrongful discharge. Our staff of lawyers with experience in employment litigation have handled cases arising under each theory of liability and have successfully defended the tough decisions which sometimes must be made by employers. At Dell, Moser, Lane & Loughney, LLC, we keep a separate general file for each of our clients, including employee handbooks, job descriptions, collective bargaining agreements, policy manuals and other items of importance in employment litigation. These materials assist us in recognizing potential exposures and defeating claims that are made against our clients. We also have a number of attorneys who focus their practice in workers' compensation, and we often draw from their experience in litigating claims being made under the ADA and FMLA. We work hand in hand with our clients' human resources departments to insure an aggressive and thorough defense of these cases.
