Walmart must pay one of its former truck drivers $35 million after a jury found the retailer had falsely accused him of workers’ compensation fraud.
A San Bernardino County jury said in a two-part verdict filed last week that former Walmart driver Jesus “Jesse” Fonseca is owed $25 million in punitive damages and $9.7 million in actual damages, which includes losses from lost wages and benefits and non-economic harm, such as emotional distress.
