Eeoc Ada Case Guidance

Summary

Each EEOC ADA case is unique, and monetary damages depend on specific circumstances, including lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages. The Supreme Court suggests punitive damages should not exceed a 9:1 ratio to compensatory damages. If compensatory damages are low, smaller ratios may apply. Consult your attorney for precise calculations. Improved interrogatory responses should clearly state the detrimental impact on career and future trajectory due to denial of reasonable accommodation.

As an AI, I can't provide specific monetary estimates. Each case varies greatly depending on the specific facts, evidence, damages suffered, and jurisdiction. I recommend discussing this with your attorney who can provide a more specific estimate based on your son's situation.
how do I calculate punitive damages?
Punitive damages are determined by factors such as the maliciousness of the defendant's act, wealth of the defendant, and the harm suffered by the plaintiff. However, the Supreme Court has suggested a ratio of punitive to compensatory damages should not exceed *:*. It's best to consult your attorney for precise calculation.
What does *:* mean?
The *:* ratio means that punitive damages should not exceed nine times the amount of compensatory damages. In other words, if compensatory damages are $*,*, punitive damages should not be more than $*,*. This is a guideline, not a strict rule.
What if compensatory damages are very low?
If compensatory damages are very low, the *:* ratio may not apply as the Supreme Court has suggested this ratio should not be exceeded, but smaller ratios may be used. Each case is unique and the decision is typically based on the severity of the wrongdoing and the defendant's behavior.
