Attorney Bagnell represented the prevailing party in this case, which was recently tried in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport, Connecticut. As reported in the Connecticut Employment Law Blog (July 2008) and elsewhere, his client brought claims of retaliation in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as Connecticut law prohibiting retaliation against employees who speak out in the workplace on matters of public concern. The jury unanimously found in her favor on all counts, awarding her over $4 million in damages.
