Sexual Harassment Attorney            Orange County

Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal under California law. If you have been subjected to unwanted sexual advances, offensive comments, or a hostile work environment based on your sex or gender, you may have a viable claim under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

​

What Is Sexual Harassment?
California law recognizes two types of sexual harassment. Quid pro quo harassment occurs when a supervisor conditions employment benefits on submission to sexual conduct. Hostile work environment harassment occurs when unwelcome sexual conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

​

Who Can Be Held Liable?
Both individual harassers and employers can be held liable for sexual harassment. Employers are strictly liable for harassment by supervisors and can be liable for harassment by coworkers if they knew or should have known about the conduct and failed to take corrective action.

​

What You May Be Entitled To
If you have been sexually harassed, you may be entitled to recover lost wages and future earnings, emotional distress damages, punitive damages in cases of malicious conduct, and attorney's fees and costs.
