If you’ve experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, it’s essential to know that you’re not alone and that your feelings and experiences are valid. At Alexandar Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, we understand the profound impact such experiences can have on your professional and personal life. Our team is committed to providing compassionate and competent legal support to help you navigate through this challenging time.

Sexual harassment encompasses a range of unwelcome behaviors of a sexual nature that can create a hostile work environment. This includes, but is not limited to, sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Some forms of sexual harassment include:

  • The harasser and the victim do not need to be of different sexes; both can be the same gender.
  • Victims of sexual harassment are not limited to women; men can also face sexual harassment in the workplace.
  • The individual committing the harassment could be anyone from the organization, including the victim’s supervisor, a colleague, or even someone not employed by the company, such as a client or vendor.
  • The victim isn’t always the direct target of the harassment but could be anyone who is affected by the offensive behavior.
  • Sexual harassment does not require that the victim suffer financial loss or be terminated from their job to be considered unlawful.
  • For the behavior to qualify as harassment, it must be unwelcome and considered offensive by the victim.

The law is clear: harassment is unlawful when it creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Workplace Sexual Harassment

Explore our FAQ to get the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about sexual harassment at work.

What qualifies as sexual harassment in the workplace?

Sexual harassment in the workplace can manifest in various forms including unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with an individual’s work performance or creates a hostile or offensive work environment. Both the victim and the harasser can be either a woman or a man, and the harasser can be a supervisor, a co-worker, or even a non-employee like a client or customer.

Do I need a lawyer to file a sexual harassment claim?

While it is possible to file a sexual harassment claim on your own, having an experienced sexual harassment lawyer can greatly enhance your chances of success. A lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of employment law, gather necessary evidence, and present your case effectively. They can also negotiate on your behalf and ensure that you pursue all possible avenues for compensation.

How do I report sexual harassment?

If you feel safe and comfortable doing so, you should report the harassment to your employer as per the company’s established procedures—typically through your supervisor or human resources department. Documenting your experiences in writing and gathering any possible evidence, such as emails or witness accounts, is crucial. However, because reporting can sometimes lead to retaliation, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer who can guide you through the process and protect your rights.

What can Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys do for me if I’m facing sexual harassment?

At Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, our experienced legal team can provide comprehensive support by evaluating your claim, guiding you through the reporting process, and representing you in negotiations or court if necessary. We are dedicated to holding perpetrators accountable and achieving justice for our clients, ensuring that your rights are protected every step of the way.

What outcomes can I expect from my sexual harassment case?

The outcome of a sexual harassment case can vary depending on the specifics of the situation. Possible outcomes include settlements through negotiation, compensation for damages such as emotional distress and lost wages, or corrective actions against the harasser or employer, such as reinstatement, promotion, or policy changes within the company. In every scenario, our goal is to ensure that you receive a fair resolution that acknowledges the harm you’ve suffered and provides appropriate redress.
