Case Details
Following trial before the Montana Department of Labor & Industry, the Hearing Examiner found that BNSF had discriminated against Charles Bilbruck by denying him employment based on its perception that he was disabled due to extreme obesity. It awarded him $250,000, which was increased to $320,000 by the District Court after inclusion of attorney fees and costs. Following BNSF’s appeal of the damage calculations, the Montana Supreme Court affirmed judgment in favor of Mr. Bilbruck.
