Dimick v. Garland

**Dimick v. Garland: Court Helps Worker Collect Discrimination Award** This case involved a worker named Dimick who won a discrimination lawsuit against Ability Recovery Services, LLC and was awarded $22,287 in damages. However, after winning the case, Dimick had trouble getting information from the company about its assets and finances - information needed to actually collect the money owed. The court sided with Dimick and ordered the company to provide the requested financial information within 30 days. The judge also said Dimick could seek to have the company pay for the attorney fees incurred in bringing this motion to force them to cooperate. **What this means for workers:** Winning a workplace discrimination case is only half the battle - you also need to collect the money you're owed. This ruling shows that courts will help workers gather the financial information necessary to collect their awards when employers don't cooperate voluntarily. If you win a workplace lawsuit but your employer won't pay up or provide information about their ability to pay, you can ask the court to force them to comply. The court may even make the employer pay your attorney fees for having to take this extra step.
