Bolanos v. Priority Business Services CA2/4
Rene Bolanos sued his former employer, Priority Business Services, Inc. (Priority), alleging that Priority discriminated against him based on a disability, failed to accommodate him, terminated his employment, and other related claims, all in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.). At trial, the jury found in favor of Bolanos on two claims and awarded him over $39,000 in damages.
Priority appeals from the judgment, asserting several errors by the trial court. First, Priority argues the court erred in excluding certain evidence regarding an earlier workers’ compensation settlement between the parties. Second, it contends that the jury lacked substantial evidence to find in favor of Bolanos on his causes of action for failure to accommodate and failure to engage in an interactive process. Third, Priority raises a substantial evidence challenge to the jury’s finding that Bolanos met his duty to mitigate his damages.
