New Employment Case Filed Against Mastec

    On February 26, 2008 Waddell Law Offices filed a wrongful termination in the Circuit Court of Berkeley County, West Virginia against Mastec Services Company, Inc. and Mastec North America, Inc. on behalf of plaintiff Philip C. Rotruck.  Mr. Rotruck was employed by the defendants as a satellite dish installer for Direct TV.  He was injured while at work and subsequently reguired knee surgery.  Once he was released to return to work by his treating physician, the defendants claimed that he had "abandoned" his job.  After prevailing on his unemployment claim that he was discharged through no fault of his own, the present civil action was filed in Circuit Court alleging that he was discharged in retaliation for filing a workers compensation claim.  The civil suit also alleges that the defendants failed to accommodate his disability by providing temporary medical leave during his knee surgery and recovery.
