Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On December 22, 2014, a former employee filed a lawsuit against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, known as Merl Toyer v. Energy Focus, Inc., et al., alleging wrongful termination and other claims related to his employment with us. We subsequently removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. On May 1, 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiff, which assigns no culpability to any party and provides for a payment by us in exchange for full settlement and release of his claims. As of June 30, 2015, the total settlement amount of $330 thousand had been paid to the plaintiff. In September 2015, we received $174 thousand as reimbursement from our insurance company for the settlement claim. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had income of $174 thousand from the insurance reimbursement and expense of $156 thousand, net of the insurance settlement, respectively, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption, "Selling, general, and administrative."
