Sexual Harassment and Class Action Lawsuits
Sexual harassment is inappropriate sexual behavior that makes a person feel uncomfortable, harassed, or harmed. This behavior can range from comments or gestures to physical assault. State and federal laws prohibit sexual harassment in the workplace; unfortunately, this does not always stop the behavior.
When sexual harassment becomes a widespread problem in a workplace, it can become grounds for a class action lawsuit. If you have been a victim of sexual harassment at your place of work, we can help you understand your legal rights and options. Call the sexual harassment class action lawsuit attorneys of Feazell & Tighe, LLP, at 877-508-0588 today for more information.
Types of Sexual Harassment
Federal law recognizes two different types of sexual harassment:
- Quid pro quo – This type of harassment occurs when an employer directly or implicitly offers a job, raise, or promotion in exchange for sexual favors. It is important to note that an employee can file a quid pro quo harassment claim whether or not this offer was accepted.
- Hostile work environment – This type of harassment occurs when employers allow an environment of persistent harassment to exist. A hostile work environment can consist of inappropriate sexual jokes, comments, offers, or physical contact.
No one should have to work in an environment where he or she feels belittled, insulted, or endangered. This is why our sexual harassment class action lawyers work so hard to help victims of sexual harassment in the workplace. We can help you fight for the legal protection and compensation you need.
