If you or someone you know has dealt with or is currently dealing with sexual harassment at work, this can quickly lead to permanent psychological and emotional damage. If you have been victimized at work due to sexual harassment, there may be an opportunity to recover compensation for the damages you received. Seeking the support of an experienced and qualified attorney can help your case. If you have decided to pursue a workplace sexual harassment, there are several important factors that need to be adhered to as well as specific requirements to follow.

If you are a victim of sexual harassment by a supervisor or another co-worker, you should report the misconduct to the human resources department at your workplace, or report in accordance with the company guidelines. Once you have filed a complaint to your supervisor or employer, he or she is legally required to investigate your claim. He or she is also obligated to attempt to resolve the matter in a reasonable way. If you have been sexually harassed at work and you failed to report it, this can ultimately cause you to be unsuccessful in your claim and your right to compensation.

Keeping details of the events and any complaints made is crucial to your case. Even keeping a record of the time and place where each event happened can benefit you. It's important to preserve details as they can make a difference in your case or claim later when details are less accessible in your memory. It is also important that you seek support from an attorney who understands your rights and will fight to protect them. An attorney who works with sexual harassment and workplace harassment can help you through the process of filing your claim. Make sure important time requirements are met, as well as deal with the involved parties and their attorneys. Sexual harassment attorneys understand the particulars of these types of cases and can make sure your rights are protected under federal and state law.
