Age Discrimination Lawsuit in New Jersey
Two female anesthesiologists, both of whom had long-term relationships with a local hospital, did not have their contracts renewed, despite the fact that their performances were exemplary. They were independent contractors, not employees. Each were well over 60. They claimed that the reasons for the non-renewal of their contracts related to gender and age. They were successful because of a little known provision of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, which makes it unlawful to refuse to contract because of age, race, national origin, disability or gender. The two anesthesiologists received a very substantial settlement for this NJ employment lawsuit after an Appellate Court reversed a grant of Summary Judgment in favor of the hospital.
Disability Discrimination Lawsuit in NJ
A 60-year-old manager of a division of an importer suffered a stroke. While he recovered and was in a position to return to work, his employer of 10 years fired him, allegedly for poor performance. After filing a discrimination lawsuit in NJ, the jury concluded that his stroke was a determinative factor in the employer's decision to terminate his employment because he was not fired before the stroke, but, only after the stroke. This New Jersey discrimination lawsuit proves the old adage that timing is everything, and can establish that an employer's seemingly legitimate firing is pretextual. Had the employer offered the employee a reasonable severance package, reflecting his ten (10) years of service in return for a release of his claims as it should have when he was terminated, this case would have been settled without the need for a costly litigation resulting in a several hundred-dollar verdict against the employer.

Iam interested in aquiring a lawyer because for the past three years I was an employee of the children’s home of Burlington County NJ for 2and a haalf years as a residential counselor. However because my supervisor Danielle Beaty didn’t like me for what ever reason she constantly put me under scrutiny about my preformance and my weight. I recieved my raise in july of 2010 because I rarely called out of work and attened all meetings from 20008-2010. she and her assitant supervior Cherise Johnson had made statements that I wasn’t kind to the clients . How ever in the past staff have left children unattended which caused them to steal and personal harm ,and none of these things happened on my shift. When she lessened my hours Danielle Beaty nor Yvette Marshall never called me for hours to keep my employment and I was on their payroll until May 2011 which I find odd because when I aquired about hours in the human resource office Angie Mcgee never gave me any contact numbers. I know Nj is an at will state but to discriminate against a person because of her weight is wrong and was constantly being brought up that my fellow eployees were talking behind my back and my supervisor has addressed it during my yearly evaluation. I feel that I was treated unjustly and want to know what my options are.
