I WAS SEXUALLY HARASSED AT WORK CAN I SUE?

An employee can sue for severe and/or pervasive sexual harassment. Pervasive sexual harassment means the sexual harassment occurred more than one time. It may also mean there were not breaks in the sexual harassment such as two acts of sexual harassment one year and another act of sexual harassment a year later. Sexual harassment may be severe based upon the number of times it occurred as well as the actual conduct. Touching a woman on her breasts is severe sexual harassment. Asking somebody out six times, and threatening their job when they refuse the sixth time constitutes severe sexual harassment. Complimenting somebody's new manicure may neither be severe nor sufficiently sexually targeted to constitute unwanted sexual harassment of an offensive nature. Severity may be another word for offensiveness. Sexual harassment has to be offensive.


After determining that a sexual harassment victim may have a case for sexual harassment the next question is whether they can find a lawyer to represent them. The Employment Lawyers Group handles all sexual harassment cases on a contingency which means they are only paid when and if money is collected from the employer. A sexual harassment victim does not have to pay anything up front in order to hire the Employment Lawyers Group who has handled more than 500 separate sexual harassment lawsuits for California employees.

Sexual harassment cases often involve claims both for the damage as a result of the sexual harassment, and damages due to the victim being unable to work. An employment attorney who regularly handles both job termination lawsuits and sexual harassment lawsuits can put together a proper lawsuit for sexual harassment and retaliation. Sexual harassment attorneys can also provide guidance about how sexual harassment should be complained about, and whether an employee should quit their job due to sexual harassment.
