Harassment can occur in many ways within the workplace.

Why Do You Need A Lawyer?

To have a successful workplace harassment claim, you need to meet certain legally imposed deadlines. These statutes of limitations apply to both your initial complaint against the responsible parties and to filing a lawsuit after receiving your “right to sue” notice. Since missing these deadlines can mean denial of your claim, working with an experienced workplace harassment attorney can help you correctly file within these tight timelines. An attorney can also help you assess your claim, determine your rightful compensation, and help you stand on equal ground against your employer in a legal battle.

Nonsexual Harassment Laws In California

California has strict laws against sexual harassment in the workplace, but those actions aren’t the only ones that count as harassment. Any negative, offensive, or bullying actions are forms of harassment by state laws. Some common forms of nonsexual harassment include:

Damages You Can Recover

As a victim of workplace harassment, you may have experienced different circumstances that will impact what damages you can potentially recover. Primarily, you will be able to recover damages for the stress and mental pain and suffering you experienced because of the harassment. If your case also involves physical harm, you will be able to recover damages for any medical bills related to the harassment. As workplace harassment is a violation of California law, the court may also reward punitive damages to discourage further harassment in the future.
