Michigan Personal Injury Victim Settles To Avoid Long Appeals Process For A Wrongful Termination Verdict

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury Cases in the News

A federal jury ruled in Michelle Horton’s favor for $3 million in lost wages and punitive damages against her former employer, the 48th District Court of Bloomfield Township, Michigan.  

Horton filed the personal injury lawsuit accusing her former employer of firing her in December, 2004 for politically motivated reasons which was the same year she received the employee of the year award.  Thomas Paxton, attorney for the 48th District Court argued Horton was fired for misusing a police database, which she denied doing.

Michelle Horton and her Michigan personal injury attorney agreed to settle the wrongful termination suit against her former employer in an effort to avoid the long appeals process that usually follows a personal injury verdict.
