Verdicts, Settlements & Arbitrations

Participated in trials resulting in $3 Million

$1.1 Million
jury awards

Said one plaintiff about Dr. Namie’s
impact on his settlement:

Your report on my behalf turned the table on the defendants by exposing [their report] as not only being false in predicate, but also probative of the retaliation that formed the basis for my lawsuit. Your report both rehabilitated my character while exposing the schemes of those who shaped the reports as evidence of institutionalized abuse.

The First U.S. Bullying Trial

In 2005, Dr. Gary Namie testified as an expert witness in an Indianapolis state court trial. The plaintiff Doescher won in trial court and in the Indiana State Supreme Court. The jury award of $325,000 was sustained. The precedent-setting statement from the Supreme Court opinion:

The phrase ‘workplace bullying,’ like other general terms used to characterize a person’s behavior, is an entirely appropriate consideration … workplace bullying could be considered a form of intentional infliction of emotional distress.

NFL Bullying Scandal

The NFL scandal began with Jonathan Martin’s bullying complaint and ended with the Ted Wells investigative report on Feb. 14, 2014.

Said Wells: “Even the largest, strongest and fleetest person may be driven to despair by bullying, taunting and constant insults.”

Wm. David Cornwell, celebrity and sports attorney, retained Dr. Namie as expert in the 2013-2014 Miami Dolphins bullying scandal:

My first, and last, call for a national expert in workplace bullying was to Gary Namie.
