A South Texas information technology worker recently filed a wrongful termination lawsuit in the Galveston County District Court for her firing after filing a workers' compensation claim.  The worker, Sharon K. Malone, was employed with College of the Mainland and worked in their mathetmatics department's IT department for more than 15 years.

According to court documents, the company suffered a water pipe break in 2001 and continued to have pipe leaks for several years after.  The pipe break and leaks released mold into the work facility and caused Malone to become ill in October 2007.  Malone then filed a workers' compensation claim related to her illness, but the claim was denied, and she was released from her position.
