Question 20
In Juarez v. CC Services, where Juarez was injured on the job and he claimed the worker who caused the injury was an independent contractor, so he could sue for damages in tort, and the jury awarded $600,000 in damages, the judge held that:
Juarez should have been awarded more than $600,000 because his medical bills were more than $600,000
Juarez could not sue for damages in tort because he was at fault in the accident
Juarez could not sue for damages in tort because worker’s compensation statues barred him from recovering anything from a co-employee and the worker who caused the accident was found to be a co-employee
Juarez could sue for damages in tort even though worker’s compensation statues barred him from recovering anything from a co-employee because the worker who caused the accident was found to be an independent contractor

John cornered her again. He told her that he had waited long enough, and that if she wanted to keep her job she was going to have to “put out.” He grabbed her arm, but she got away to the counter. She told John to keep away from her. He laughed, and asked her what she was going to do. He said he knew she needed the job, because she was fired from her previous jobs for drug problems. If she didn’t get along with him, he would fire her and tell people it was because she came to work stoned.
Loretta quit the next day. She filed a complaint against John with the local EEO office. John told EEO he fired Loretta was because of her drinking on the job.
