Las Vegas, Nevada -- On Monday, March 5, 2012, a unanimous federal jury in the United States District Court of Nevada rendered a verdict awarding Plaintiff Randy Dossat the total amount of $1,868,000.00 on his claims for retaliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The jury determined that Defendant Hoffmann La-Roche willfully retaliated against Mr. Dossat for complaining about what Mr. Dossat reasonably believed to be age discrimination in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and that the company's actions caused Mr. Dossat damages for mental pain and suffering.
