Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. An employee who has been subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature may have a claim for sexual harassment when such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

If you have suffered from sexual harassment in the workplace, it is always to your benefit to speak with a knowledgeable sexual harassment attorney. You are entitled to a remedy that will place you in the position you would have been in if the sexual harassment had never occurred. If you win your case, you may be entitled to rehiring, promotion, reinstatement, back pay, and other remuneration. You may also be entitled to damages to compensate you for mental and emotional anguish, work stress, and inconvenience. Punitive damages may be available, as well, if an employer acted with malice or reckless indifference. You may also be entitled to attorney's fees.
