Hartford Sexual Harassment Lawyer

About Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is any unwanted act or communication between an employee and an employer or co-worker, which is sexual in nature. This behavior alienates the victim of such harassment, and can negatively impact their job performance as well. If you have been sexually harassed, you may fear wrongful termination or some other form of retaliation should you speak up about this harassment. You should know that there are tough state and federal laws in place protecting employees against this unlawful behavior. Women are more often the targets of sexual harassment, but men are also victims in many cases. Examples of sexual harassment include sexual comments, inappropriate touching, offensive jokes, uncomfortable staring, displaying of sexual posters and images, linking job advancement to sexual favors and sexual assault.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of sexual harassment, you will need the competent legal support of a Hartford employment law attorney to assist you in aggressively protecting your rights during this trying time. No one should be subjected to sexual harassment, and employers and co-workers that have been proven to have engaged in such unlawful behavior can be sued for monetary damages.
