Re: Being Hired
It REALLY depends on the circumstances. Until relatively recently, the answer would have been absolutely not. However, in just the past few years, the Maryland courts have sometimes held that employees could recover in such circumstances. However, everything depends on the precise facts.
Please feel free to give me a ring at my office if you would like to explore the precise facts of your case.
