| "Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends, not a game of chess." Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter Indianapolis v. Chase Nation Bank Sexual Harassment LawyerWhether it’s subtle sexual advances or comments or an outright insistence on sexual favors in order to maintain employment, sexual harassment most often occurs at work. Victims of sexual harassment have many legal protections that can stop the harassing behavior, protect employment rights, compensate for damages and punish the harasser for illegal behavior. Legal Issues in Sexual HarassmentWhen you are feeling vulnerable, angry or scared because of sexual harassment by a co-worker or employer, a sexual harassment lawyer can help you focus on the facts and obtain full legal recourse. Sexual harassment puts you in a precarious position where you fear that if you resist or report the situation, your job will be jeopardized. A good sexual harassment lawyer can reassure you that you are not alone and you can get help: Sexual harassment has been addressed by federal and state law for many years. Under the Civil Rights Act, sexual harassment is illegal and actionable if: * you have to accept the behavior so you can keep your job * you have to accept the behavior in order to receive better pay, advancement, vacation, or scheduling, etc. (Quid Pro Quo harassment) * the behavior creates a hostile or offensive work environment that interferes with your ability to do your work Money Damages and Statute of LimitationsRecovery of damages may include lost wages or other job-related losses, physical, mental, emotional pain and suffering, punitive damages and attorney’s fees, but the statute of limitations is short. Your complaint must be filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Council (EEOC) within 300 days of the incident.
