Morelli Ratner PC works with a wide variety of cases, but our primary focus is on:
When there are large numbers of claims associated with a single product, they may be part of a mass tort. It basically means that an act of negligence on the part of an individual or company resulted in injuring many people. Many factors are considered when deciding if a claim should be part of a mass tort.
Managing Partner David S. Ratner was quoted yesterday in a Workforce.com article, Background-Check Tool Keeps Tabs on Sex Harassment Cases.
David Ratner, a lawyer who represents an Illinois woman who was awarded $39.8 million in her sexual harassment case, doesn't like the registry.
"I think harassers should lose their jobs and be punished," says Ratner, managing partner of Morelli Ratner of New York. "But there's a right way and a wrong way to go about it."
Adelman says the registry should be used with other evaluation tools and that employers should allow accused harassers to explain their cases. But that suggestion is disingenuous, Ratner says. He doubts whether employers with multiple job candidates would consider one listed in the registry.
