Six Figure+ Settlement in Severe Sexual Harassment Case

Attorney Jason A. Lee recently settled another sexual harassment case in litigation involving the automotive industry.  His client was treated inappropriately by being touched, by being subjected to inappropriate sexual comments and by receiving sexual text messages.  There were multiple Defendants involved in the case and they decided to resolve the case before depositions, for a very substantial sum.  They knew they were at fault.  The client review for this work was the following:

When I first contacted Jason Lee about my sexual harassment situation I was scared, lost, and broken. I had just went through by far one of the worst unbelievable experiences in my career. I didn’t know if I had anywhere to turn anyone to help me fight for what was right. Shortly into the process I realized I did have someone to stand with me and that was Jason and his team.

We where quickly faced with some pretty unbelievable obstacles on the opposing side, but not once did Jason hesitate or bat an eye. There was allot of tears, allot of anger, allot of wanting to quit. This process is tough to get through but with Jason as your lawyer you will never be alone in the fight. We managed to bring down multiple “predators” that would have undoubtedly continued their abuse of women. We shook up the entire organization in which I worked in and was able to leave our mark. He protected me kept me in line and focused on the big picture and watched out the whole way through. (Which wasn’t an easy task)

We won in many ways in this case and I can only wish it gives women hope in the future. Hands down the best lawyer I could have chosen. You should too.

Sexual Harassment Settlement in Construction Industry

We recently resolved a substantial sexual harassment case against a large construction industry company.  Our client was subjected to unlawful and unwanted touching and sexual comments – clearly violating Tennessee Law.  We were able to settle this case for a substantial sum before we needed to get into discovery in this case.  The reason is the company knew they had major problems with their case.  Our client review for this case is as follows:

Jason was awesome from start to finish. He’s prompt, extremely informative, and quite realistic as far as what to expect throughout this process. I contacted his office feeling quite defeated and dirty to be honest. I’m a woman in the construction industry that had a misogynist predator for a boss. Needless to say he made my life a living hell with his countless inappropriate remarks about my body, his puns about my ethnicity and his constant reminders that this was his world and I was merely living in it. After almost 3 months and taking the proper procedures to try and get him disciplined and failing badly because the company placed more importance on his position than actually protecting me as a victim of this incessant harassment- I contacted Jason and it turned out to be quite a blessing! I received a nice settlement for all of my suffering and can now never look back at that horrible company, nor do I have to accept inappropriate behavior going forward with any company or any job site. He gave me my peace of mind and self esteem back! He will NOT disappoint and he’ll go to bat for you!!

Another Significant Sexual Harassment Settlement for Client

We recently obtained a significant sexual harassment settlement for a case pending in Davidson County, Tennessee.  This case was litigated including extensive written discovery and document production.  Also, multiple depositions were taken, putting significant pressure on the employer to answer for their sexually harassing behavior.  This resulted in a very significant settlement award that was obtained at a mediation.

This client reviewed us online and stated the following:

After working with Jason Lee over the past 13 months I have absolutely no regrets in hiring him to represent me. This was my first experience with this type of lawsuit and he always made sure I understood everything completely and was always patient with any questions and/or concerns I had. He was also always prompt when returning emails or phone calls. Without a doubt, throughout this case, I knew that Jason was fighting for me, not just because it’s his job but because he legitimately cared. I strongly recommend him for legal needs.

Significant Sexual Harassment Settlement Obtained for Client Against Construction Company

We obtained a very significant settlement for our client in a severe sexual harassment case against a construction company.  The terms of the settlement are confidential, however, our client obtained a very significant monetary settlement rightbefore trial.  This case was heavily litigated through depositions and motions for summary judgment in order to maximize the value to our client.  Shortly before trial, the company significantly increased their settlement offer, resolving the case before trial.

Our client offered these comments about our work on this matter:

“HONEST.  He never kept me waiting. I didn’t trust attorneys, but then I met him. He will fight for you as if you were one of his own. We won even more money that we originally expected. I didn’t know that such an honest, sincere person could also be equally as aggressive and passionate until i met him. I lost the feeling of powerlessness when he sat down next to me, across the table from my used to be employer owner/millionaire. My life is forever changed due to his hard work and compassion.”

Tennessee Supreme Court Overturns COA Dedmon case – Key Decision for Personal Injury cases on Medical Bill Evidence

The Tennessee Supreme Court issued a very important decision recently on the appeal in the Dedmon case.  Many people have been waiting on this decision from the plaintiff’s side and the defendant’s side.  The Dedmon case was the case where the Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled that defendants, in personal injury cases, could introduce evidence of the discounted amounts accepted by health providers or paid by insurance companies.  I previously blogged on this prior ruling here.

The Tennessee Supreme Court reversed the key part of the prior Tennessee Court of Appeals decision today.  The key part in the new case (and a good summary of the current status of the law on this issue) is the following:

In sum, we hold that the definition of “reasonable charges” under the Hospital Lien Act set forth in West v. Shelby County Healthcare Corp., 459 S.W.3d 33 (Tenn. 2014), does not apply directly to determinations of “reasonable medical expenses” in personal injury cases; the West definition of “reasonable charges” is limited in application to interpretation of the Hospital Lien Act……
