Damages = Money. As determined by a jury. Basically in my sitch I would be arguing that I have lost W's earning potential.
Atty said it would cost me at least $10k in legal fees to even begin to pursue that avenue. "Hopefully" the award would cover my atty's fees...
He advised to use it as a bargaining chip for settlement and cautioned that it leaves me, OM, and W exposed to the drama of a prolonged jury trial. Not really how I want to spend my next 12 months.
Bringing the case forward would also probably destroy OM's and W's careers since they had the A on a work assignment... On a cloudier day maybe I would want that.
