On September 26, 2025, Southwest Airlines agreed to pay $18,500,000 to settle a class action accusing the carrier of failing to provide paid leave to employees who took short-term military leave. The lawsuit alleged that Southwest wrongly denied pay when they took 14 days or fewer of military leave, despite paying for other absences including sick leave, bereavement leave and jury duty—a violation of USERRA.

Attorneys Matt Crotty and Kacy Tellessen obtained a $4.5 million jury verdict in a multi-defendant sexual abuse and negligence case.
