Discrimination

What's a violation of civil rights in the workplace? An employer is not permitted to discriminate against an employee because of the employee's sex... color... nationality... race... age... disability or religion. If for these reasons an employer harasses, demotes, fires or forces an employee to quit, it is probable that unlawful employment discrimination has occurred. Our firm has successfully represented victims of employer unlawful conduct in courts across Ohio.

Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Receives $750,000 Award

In one example, we obtained a jury verdict of more than $750,000 in a sexual harassment case for a young woman who was sexually assaulted by her foreman at a nightclub after hours. Even though the employer knew about the attack, the employer permitted the foreman to continue supervising her. When the young woman asked for a shift change, the employer refused to rearrange her schedule and threatened to fire her if she pursued her criminal charges.

Frightened of losing her job... she dropped her criminal charges only to then be fired a short time later for alleged performance deficiencies. When she proved that the performance deficiencies were bogus, the employer coerced a co-worker to falsely accuse her of sexual misconduct and then fired her over these false accusations.

Real Reason for Termination

At trial our attorneys proved that the real reason for her termination was retaliation for complaining about the foreman's conduct and pursuing a criminal complaint. The jury unanimously held that the employer and foreman were liable for punitive damages and attorney fees. Contact a team of expert Discrimination Lawyers Today!
