Unfortunately, discrimination claims are very difficult to win even if you have been discriminated against. Juries have a difficult time siding with an employee in a discrimination case and an employer in a discrimination case can raise defenses that may not seem relevant, but can still be used against you. It is important that you seek an attorney if you feel you have been discriminated against to properly evaluate your case.
What Types of Discrimination Can I Sue For?
The law allows you to sue if you have been discriminated against because of your race, religion, sex, handicap, age or orientation. These are the types of discrimination claims most people are aware of. There are also other types of cases that you may not be aware of. They include if your employer does not allow you military leave, fires you because you filed a valid worker’s compensation or discharges you because you request time off for jury service. Contact us to determine if your employer has engaged in prohibited activity.
