Kezer v. Cent. Me. Med. Ctr.
Annotate this CaseEmployee filed a complaint against Employer alleging employment discrimination based on numerous factual allegations. After a jury trial, the jury found (1) Employer had taken adverse employment action against Employee in violation of the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA), but (2) Employer had not failed to provide Employee with reasonable accommodations for his hearing impairment or the shoulder injury he received while working for Employer. Employee appealed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the superior court erred in instructing the jury on the statute of limitations, but the error did not prejudice Employee; (2) the court did not err in declining to give Employee's proposed instruction, as the instruction did not state the law correctly; and (3) the superior court did not abuse its discretion by awarding attorney fees less than the amount Employee requested.
