Description
MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Haggar Clothing Company a/k/a Haggar Apparel Company (""Haggar""), appeals a jury verdict finding that it discharged appellee, Altagracia Hernandez, in retaliation for filing a worker's compensation claim. See Tex. Lab. Code Ann. § 451.001 (Vernon 1996). In seven issues, Haggar challenges the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury's findings of: (1) retaliation; (2) actual malice; (3) punitive damages in the amount of $1,400,000; and (4) actual damages. Haggar also contends: (1) the award of punitive damages is grossly excessive in violation of the excessive fines and due process clauses of the U.S. Constitution (issue four); (2) the trial court erred in admitting certain ""other incidents"" evidence (issue six); and (3) the jury charge contained errors which entitle Haggar to a new trial. We affirm the trial court's judgment.
