My wife has a small business. An ex-employee who left the firm (she was there all of three weeks) filed an EEO suit. My wife spent almost ten thousand responding. Turns out the woman had spent time in jail, lied on her resume and had tried the same scam before. But the EEO didn't bother to check those facts. They just threatened to put her out of business unless she spent thousands responding to baseless allegations.

Seen it , done it--our workers' comp. insurance just paid 40K to settle a claim from a POS former employee who suffered a finger laceration.
and we spent close to 10K defending against a NY lawsuit where we were named as a defendent--doesn't matter that we were never involved in the project, and that it was a NY company that has a similar name and does a completely different type of work--you still have to respond and file all the necessary legal papers to be removed from the suit--10K and 4 months later...
