Oregon Sexual Harassment Attorney

Sexual Harassment Lawyer in Portland

Sexual harassment is nothing less than a personal attack on the very core of the employee's dignity and sense of self worth.  It also tends to be symptomatic of a workplace environment where employees are not treated as individuals worthy of respect.

Sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual attention someone experiences.  It includes leering, pinching, patting, touching, texting, emailing, repeated comments, subtle or overt suggestions of a sexual nature, and pressure for dates or relationships.  Sexual harassment typically, but not always, occurs in a situation where one person has power over another.  Sexual harassment in the workplace is rarely about sex, it's about abuse of power and it is prohibited by state and federal laws.  Employers who have notice of harassment and tolerate or condone this type of behavior are liable under the law and may have to compensate the victimized employee for past and future loss of earnings, benefits, emotional distress, punitive damages, attorneys fees and costs.  In addition to the employer, the offending sexual harasser is also personally liable to the employee for damages.

You can have a claim for sexual harassment if you are terminated, forced to quit or are still working in the hostile work environment.  Some of the largest verdicts have resulted from claims of sexual harassment brought against employers who simply ignored the harassment and despite their knowledge and opportunity to stop the harassment, failed to protect the victimized employee.
