Cauchon vs. Walmart, Inc.
Client Danie Cauchon worked as a cashier and customer service manager for Walmart for six weeks shy of 20 years. Despite Ms. Cauchon’s years of dedicated service to Walmart, she was terminated twice by Walmart for absences related to her medical condition.
On May 25, 2021, the jury returned a verdict for Danie on her claims of disability discrimination (WLAD), failure to accommodate disability (WLAD), and leave interference (WFLA). The jury awarded her lost wages through retirement ($85,000 in back pay and $300,000 in front pay), and $215,000 in emotional harm damages, for a total verdict of $600,000. The Nolan Lim Law Firm litigated the case with co-counsel McDonald Hoague and Bayless.
