Retaliation Verdict for Doctor of $3.1 Million
A doctor, Kristina Gertszten, a radiation oncologist, reported gender discrimination at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. She claimed that she was retaliated against when the hospital twice failed to hire her as a medical director.
A federal court jury found that Dr. Gertszten had been retaliated against for reporting sex discrimination. The jury's verdict included $200,000 in compensatory damages, the maximum of $300,000 in punitive damages, about $1.5 million in back pay and $827,292 in lost future income or "front pay."
