ORLANDO — A former employee is suing Fields Motorcars of Florida Inc. for alleged age discrimination and wrongful termination.

John Stanko filed a complaint on June 27 in the Orange County Circuit Court, alleging that the defendant breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that he suffered economic damages on Jan. 26, 2016 as a result of being terminated from his employment. He was allegedly fired due to a single complaint from a customer about his driving. 

The plaintiff holds the defendant responsible for allegedly acting with malice and reckless disregard for his protected rights, and for allegedly terminated him in bad faith without reasonable grounds.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendant for compensatory damages, declaratory relief and lost wages, including lost fringe benefits, pre-judgment interest and further relief as is proper. He is represented by John W. Bolanovich and Joseph V. Taormina of Bogin, Munns & Munns PA in Orlando.
