Rebecca Smith v. PFS Fitness LLC: A fitness center worker who claimed she was wrongfully terminated after a foot injury landed her in a wheelchair was recently awarded nearly $243,000 by a jury.

In the spring of 2008, Rebecca Smith, 30, of Milford, was diagnosed with a severe case of plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot that connects the heel bone to the toes and creates the arch of the foot.
