| Company Tries to Limit Path to Courthouse |  | A case in front of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans over whether a fired employee can be forced to file a complaint with a government agency instead of going straight to court may have widespread ramifications for workers and companies statewide. The plaintiff alleges he was fired from Kansas-based Terracon Consultants for refusing to break a law with criminal penalties, in a 2014 wrongful termination lawsuit against the company. Terracon believes that the plaintiff, rather than sue, should have followed the administrative process detailed in federal legislation regulating the number of hours a trucker can spend behind the wheel.

| "Wrongful Birth" Lawsuit Denied by Montana Jury | | A judge has denied a wrongful birth lawsuit filed by the mother of a girl with cystic fibrosis. The woman from Gardiner, Montana filed the lawsuit seeking monetary compensation for her child born with cystic fibrosis. After a two-hour deliberation, a Gallatin County jury ruled that the Livingston HealthCare nurse and a Bozeman OBGYN did not violate their standard of care with the plaintiff. The lawsuit alleged that the plaintiff's chorionic villus sampling (CVS), which can detect abnormalities in fetuses, came back normal, despite the fact that the child was born with cystic fibrosis. According to the lawsuit, if the plaintiff and her husband had known of the cystic fibrosis, they would have terminated the pregnancy.
