Target defendants are usually people who have a lot of money. This is because in employment cases, there is little ability to make a plaintiff whole except to pay that person money. There is no injunctive relief for injuries. The plaintiff has to spend money to bring a case so he/she wants a defendant who has money.
Target defendants are those that do not have a lot of policies in place. These are usually defendants who are more reasonable and want to settle a case if possible. The attorney looks to a defendant’s case history to see if the employer is reasonable in negotiating deals.
Many suits can be prevented if the employer cooperates with the employee. For instance, an employer who does not let an employee see his/her file may be considered not reasonable. Employees should review their files to see when documents are put into the files. This is to make sure there are no manufactured documents. Though, once terminated, an employee may not be able to see the file, unless there is discovery. This is because the employer may claim privacy or confidentiality.
The size of an employer, and the length of time an employer has been in business, also is important to evaluating finances.
