She Asked For $3.46 Million In Fees.
Even though not winning all of her claims against Amazon, a female employee who won a disparate treatment claim based on pregnancy accommodation issues to the tune of about $309,500 in damages also requested a fees award of $3.46 million as prevailing party. The trial court agreed she prevailed, awarding her $2.47 million in fees. The result goes to show you how game changing a fee-shifting statute or contract can be in litigation.
