A Kentucky man was awarded US$450,000 in a lawsuit against his former employer after the company disregarded his wish not to be given a birthday party.
In August 2019, Gravity Diagnostics, a medical laboratory, ignored Kevin Berling’s request not to celebrate his birthday due to his anxiety disorder.
Tony Bucher, Berling’s attorney, said that Berling spoke to the birthday celebration organizer about his request not to have a party, but “the person who was responsible for the birthday parties who he talked to flat-out forgot about his request.”
As a result, the company hosted the celebration, at which Berling suffered a panic attack.

The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by attorney Brian Halloran, saying Dusing should not be on the ballot because he is not currently a licensed attorney.
