A former truck driver lost a defamation lawsuit and was ordered to pay $65,000 in fees after threatening to expose his employer.
A former truck driver, Sam, won a $20,000 small claims judgment for unpaid wages after his employer failed to respond, and received a settlement.
He then demanded an additional $1,100 in vacation pay and interest, and threatened to publicly expose alleged safety and payroll misconduct when the company refused.
Despite warnings from the employer’s lawyer, Sam continued to contact business partners and threaten media exposure.
The company sued him for defamation, and evidence revealed a prior history of similar threats against another employer.
Sam lost the case, was ordered to pay $65,000 in legal fees, and the incident serves as a warning that using public defamation threats to extract money often backfires.
