A company called Caltrans was sued by a MCSer for failing to accommodate his chemical sensitivity disability. His supervisors called him an "idiot" and fellow employees would harass him by placing perfumed items at his work station. He was awarded $3 million dollars! Then the judge stated he thought that was excessive and believed the jury's award to be based on passion and prejudice and reduced it to $350 thousand. WHAT? This was appealed because the dumb-shit judge didn't give any evidence as to why it should be lowered, and he is now back to being awarded $5 MILLION DOLLARS. That's the summary.

Hooray for justice! Finally! This sets legal precedent on disability accommodations. Maybe we'll finally be taken seriously.
I sure wish my lawsuit so long ago would have gone so well. I was told not to bother that the judge would throw it out of court. This guy must have had a much better lawyer than I did!
Hooray!
