In 2017, plaintiff Maria Guerrero, a janitor at 655 W. Broadway, in downtown San Diego, was terminated from her position. She claimed she was fired after taking time off from work to go to doctor’s appointments for her shoulder injury. Guerrero sued Crown Energy Services Inc. (which was initially erroneously sued as Able Engineering Management Co. LLC) and Ableserve Management Co., both of which were believed to be doing business as Able Engineering. She also sued Jones Lang LaSalle Americas Inc. (which was initially erroneously sued as Jones Lang LaSalle Brokerage Inc.). Guerrero alleged that the defendants’ actions constituted disability discrimination and retaliation. Plaintiff’s counsel contended that although Guerrero received positive reviews for the first 10.5 years of her employment, Guerrero’s employers suddenly began to retaliate against her with concocted write-ups, unwarranted suspensions without pay, bogus investigations, and her ultimate termination. In the last half-year of Guerrero’s employment, she received four written warnings, including two suspensions, before being terminated. Plaintiff’s counsel contended that the bad reviews began after Guerrero started to take off of work for doctor’s appointments. Defense counsel maintained that the disciplinary actions were justified and that Guerrero’s termination was, in fact, a “layoff.” Counsel also disputed that Guerrero suffered a disability., Guerrero claimed that she suffers from emotional distress as a result her termination. She sought recovery of economic damages for her past and future lost wages, noneconomic damages for her past and future emotional pain and suffering, and punitive damages.
