A Colombia woman who claims to have been forced to quit her work shortly after filing a criminal lawsuit against an executive of her company, American Office Equipment Co. after being assaulted at their retreat by him, was disappointed with the jury's verdict earlier this month.
A federal jury in Baltimore awarded Barbara A. Surran $53,000. She has filed a motion for a new trial solely on the issue of damages.
Harriet Cooperman, attorney for James A. Kuntz, the executive of American Office who assaulted Surran, is happy with the verdict since her client had offered Surran $250,000 to settle the case, in late October this year.
Kuntz could recover $3,498 from Surran, under federal rules for not accepting his offer two months ago which nearly equals the $3,880 in medical damages that Surran was awarded for counseling after the incident.
