Representing Individuals and Employees

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination that is based on sex/gender. Individuals of any gender can be the target of sexual harassment, and it does not always have to be motivated by sexual desire. Sexual harassment can happen between two people of the same gender, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

There are two different types of sexual harassment. The first is “quid pro quo.” This type of harassment happens when someone conditions a job, promotion, or other work benefit on the submission to sexual advances or other conduct based on sex.

The other type is called a “hostile work environment.” This type of harassment occurs when unwelcome comments or conduct based on sex unreasonably interfere with your work performance or create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment. You might experience this type of harassment even if the improper conduct was not directly aimed at you.

These are forms of employment discrimination that consist of adverse employment actions—termination, denial of promotion, suspension, denial of employment—that are motivated by the employee’s actual or perceived protected characteristics, including religious creed, race, color, national origin, physical disability, mental disability, ancestry, medical conditions, genetic information, sex, gender, marital status, gender identity, gender expression, age (over 40), sexual orientation, or military and veteran status.

Employees affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions are entitled to legal protections under federal and applicable state or local laws. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations and, in many cases, job-protected leave for pregnancy-related needs. This can include time off for medically necessary bed rest, severe morning sickness, childbirth, recovery, pregnancy-related complications, and prenatal or postnatal medical care.

In addition, many laws provide eligible employees with the right to take protected leave to bond with a new child, including after birth, adoption, or foster placement.

If your employer has denied accommodations, refused leave, interfered with your right to take protected bonding leave, or taken adverse action against you because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions, you may have a claim for unlawful discrimination or retaliation.

This is a type of discrimination in which a prohibited employment action is taken against an employee due to their participation in a legally-protected activity. These legally-protected activities include:

• Complaining About Discrimination
• Filing a Discrimination Lawsuit
• Giving Testimony in a Discrimination Suit
• Making a Discrimination Complaint
• Refusing to Participate in Discrimination
• Requesting a Reasonable Accommodation
• Retaliation for Disclosing Illegal Conduct

Personal injury law is designed to protect individuals who have been injured or harmed due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions. We help victims seek compensation for their significant losses and severe injuries and death.

• Accidents: Accidents, slip and fall accidents, workplace accidents, and other types of accidents where another party’s failure to act with reasonable care causes injury.
• Intentional Acts: This category involves cases where a defendant’s intentional conduct causes harm to another person, such as assault and battery, hate violence.
• Defective Products: Cases involving serious injuries caused by defective products. Manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers can be held responsible if their product is found to be defective and causes injury.
