I have sued, but have been sued a couple of times. One we settled on and the other never got to trial.

Sued a so called friend several yrs ago for taking $4K and never returning. Won in small claims, but no shot of ever getting the $ back....

Was just curious... Wife has a contract with a current employer and being mistreated, and IMO not honoring the contract, sueing seems like a hassle, doubt well ever go through with it, was curious of other peoples prospect of it all..

I sued a company for age discrimination after they terminated me. It was settled out of court.

You have to be able to prove that the mistreatment has caused some sort of damage to your wife. There are tons of attorneys who will give you a free evaluation. Contact one and put it to rest one way or the other. What have you got to lose?

Why sue? Are you seeking damages or does she just want out of her contract?

She signed a contract in hopes of starting on a certain date... it got pushed back 3 weeks because of their mistakes... she just let it go although I thought she should have made a bigger deal of it.... 2 weeks ago she didn't get her hours... then the next week, she picked up an extra day, and they wanted her to pick up a 5th day (12 hour shifts), she turned it down, and she ended up getting blacklisted at the hospital because the company had a miscommunication... not that big of a deal, as she still has a great relationship with many other hospitals, but the company controls everything and really mishandling her...

I didn't know you could just turn down work if your boss tells you you're coming in.

Sure you can. I'm obligated to work 40 hours a week. I get asked to work more hours everyday and one of my off days and tell them "no" damn near everytime. I'm required to work 40 hours a week and guaranteed 2 consecutive off days a week (if I choose to take them).......it's all in the contract

Some guy tried to sue me for 250k and didn't even get 4k. The deposition was the last time I saw that nutcase.

And I only ask because I don't know but it's usually in your contract that you don't have to work OT if you don't want to?

If this is the case then why wouldn't the employer simply add different language to the contract saying something like "up to 60 hours per week?"

looked like I was going to be sued around 1990 by a bank that was defrauded by a client for 3 million dollars

turned out the client had a massive cocaine problem and was spending money recklessly

at the end of the day, the evidenced showed they never relied on my work before making the loan and if they had relied on my work, they don't lend 3 million dollars. I may have also been helped by the fact that I spoke to the client's father about cash flow problems and about how he's spending too much money while I was advising him to leave the cash in the business. I suggested he take a pay cut until the business is on more solid ground, instead he buys a million dollar yacht and two new 70k cars and needs far more cash than ever.

The bank tried every angle, including calling me a quasi-comptroller. Although they sent numerous threatening letters and reviewed our files and deposed at least 20 other people, they never even deposed me.

Our insurance company said they would settle the case for 100k, because that's how much it would cost for them to depose everyone, but they thought we would be fine.

Two years later I left the firm, and never heard anything about the case again.
