I was employed for 10 years and hurt my back playing ball. Was on the tail end of an disability claim when I tried to play ball again. HR caught wind of me playing and came to the park with her sister to take pictures. So I was denied disability benefits due to her actions. I sued the insurance company and won, no longer have benefits with them. Two and a half years later I am still employed but suing my company for breach of confidentiality. Since I left work I have gone on to receive cppd and the company is finally offered a settlement. $28,000, claimining they only owe me the esa severance due to frustration of contract. I’m thinking they owe a lot more than that for severance alone as the Work relationship ended when she shared confidential information with her sister and my ex girlfriend? Any opinion?
