Marietta Cetrangolo v. Esmail Monazam and REM Engineering Services PLLC
PA-Jacques R. Williams; J-N/A
* REM hired Marietta Cetrangolo in September 2002. She was advised that her benefit package with the company would include health insurance. Cetrangolo asked on numerous occasions to be included in REM's health insurance and was declined by Monazam. Cetrangolo claims the refusal was age- and gender-based discrimination. She was instructed to opt out of the coverage, which she did, for fear of losing her job. Cetrangolo suffered a severe illness in both 2006 and 2007, each time requiring extensive treatment and hospitalization. Based on information available, had Cetrangolo been covered by REM's health insurance, her medical costs would have been covered. Since she was not, her out-of-pocket medical expenses totaled $31,000. In May 2007, Cetrangolo's attorney wrote to Monazam regarding her concerns. In response to this correspondence, Centrangolo suffered threatening and accusatory behavior from Monazam in addition to a demotion. No longer being able to endure the workplace conditions, Centrangolo quit her job. Centrangolo seeks compensatory and punitive damages against Monazam and REM, along with pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and attorney fees.
