What Can I Do to Protect Myself?
If you are being discriminated against, make sure to collect evidence of incidents and their dates and times. Note down details of any eyewitnesses. If the incident caused you to consult with a doctor or mental health professional, keep documentation of the visits and any medical bills. Any information and evidence you can gather will be helpful if you decide to pursue action later on.
Most importantly, speaking to an attorney can help you get clear on your options if you are mistreated at work. Morgan & Morgan’s employment attorneys are committed to protecting and helping victims of discrimination. We offer free consultations where you can get advice and help.
When Should I Speak to a Discrimination Attorney?
You can potentially file a discrimination claim on your own. However, there are some situations in which it can be crucial to have an experienced employment lawyer in your corner, including when:
- You are running out of time for filing a claim
- You are suffering from workplace harassment and do not know where to turn
- An employer is pressuring you to sign a “release of claims” form
- You have been unfairly terminated and do not know what to do
- You are thinking of filing a lawsuit against your employer in state or federal court
- You are dissatisfied with the response from the EEOC or FCHR
Since the burden falls on you to prove discrimination, speaking to a seasoned employment lawyer as soon as possible can be essential. A dedicated attorney can be your best advocate and help you navigate the process for discrimination law in Florida.
Which Types of Damages Could I Receive?
Depending on your specific case, you could be entitled to various damages, including:
Back and Front Pay
You could potentially recover any back pay owed to you by your employer as well as any future lost income due to discrimination, including:
- Wages
- Overtime
- Tips
- Commission
Compensatory Damages
You could also receive compensation for any out-of-pocket cost and other damages you incurred as a result of workplace discrimination, such as:
- Costs associated with finding a new job or retraining
- Medical expenses incurred due to discrimination
- Awards for emotional suffering
Punitive Damages
In instances where an employer acted particularly maliciously, employees could also receive punitive damages. Punitive damages are generally designed to punish the employer.
Depending on your unique discrimination case, you could also be entitled to additional remedies such as reinstatement, salary adjustment, restoration of benefits, and others. An attorney from our firm could advise you on the types of damages you could pursue with a discrimination case.
How Can an Employment Attorney Help Me?
Discrimination cases can be complex and challenging. Moreover, depending on your employer, you might have to stand up against a powerful company with considerable resources and a team of lawyers at hand for fighting your claim. Employers and their lawyers are experienced in handling employment-related claims, potentially leaving you at a disadvantage without adequate legal representation.
An attorney can help to:
- Determine whether you have a discrimination case
- File your claim with the appropriate federal or state agency
- Ensure that you are not missing vital deadlines
- Gather and present evidence to support your case
- Present your case in the strongest terms at court
Besides knowing the federal and state laws applying to your discrimination case, your attorney will also know how to protect you from unfair tactics of an employer or attorneys.
