A custodial worker, who was terminated based on his possible mental instability, was awarded $85,000 by a jury of seven people recently. The jury believed the termination was in direct violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In June 2008, an arbitrator had vacated the termination and returned Mr. Pleminitas to his job, according to NY Injury Lawyers.

The custodian had been working for local area schools since 1992 and had no prior difficulties with mental distress for that entire 15 years. His supervisor alleges he displayed angry and unstable behavior in March of 2007 and suspended him for 30 days without pay. Superevisors confirm they felt the man was dangerous to others and felt he suffered from anxiety, depression and multiple mental disorders.

The school district refused to place the custodial worker back on its payroll and sought to terminate, stated a NYC Injury Lawyer. Evidence at the trial showed the lack of work and pay caused significant economic hardship and anxiety.

A 62-year-old and possibly drunk woman, drove recklessly and crashed her Mercedes-Benz several times injuring two people and damaging four vehicles in just over five minutes Tuesday, according to New York Injury Lawyers.

The suspect’s reckless tirade ended when she hit a tree, where an onlooker confiscated her keys and held her until officers arrived, NY City Car Accident Lawyers said. “She tried to get away going eastbound on Santa Cruz,” said a Police spokesperson.”It looked like she was trying to go across the median because she saw a lot of traffic, but was unsuccessful because of the tree.”

The careless crashes began when the driver wildly backed out of her parking spot, struck two parked cars and unknowingly pinned a man between two cars. While others in the parking lot tried to help the trapped man, she turned harshly down another street and knicked two parked cars, one with a woman in it, before finally hitting the tree to stop the domino effect.
