Racial harassment is an unfortunate and prevalent issue that many individuals still grapple with in workplaces across America. Despite claims to the contrary, racism is very much alive and causes significant harm. If you’ve been a victim of racial harassment, it’s essential to know that PLBH can provide the aggressive representation you need to address the situation and seek rightful compensation for your distress.
What is Racial Harassment?
Racial harassment comprises various harmful behaviors motivated by racial bias. Such behaviors include making racially offensive jokes, using racial slurs, posting racist cartoons, making derogatory comments about a particular race, and showing racial bias in the treatment of employees. These racially motivated behaviors should be reported to management.
When it comes to lodging a formal complaint with the authorities, the racial harassment conduct needs to be severe or pervasive. A single offensive comment might not be deemed as harassment, but regular offensive comments may be seen as pervasive harassment. To warrant legal action, a solitary incident would have to be incredibly severe or egregious.
How Can a Racial Harassment Attorney Assist You?
A racial harassment attorney’s role is crucial in navigating this intricate legal area. They can help by:
Understanding Your Experience: The attorney provides an empathetic ear, listening to your experiences, and helping you discern whether what you faced qualifies as racial harassment.
Advice and Guidance: If your experience is indeed racial harassment, your attorney can guide your next steps, including drafting a letter to your employer if you haven’t reported the harassment yet. They will also ensure all necessary paperwork is correctly filed within the deadlines.
Legal Representation: Once your complaint is investigated and you’re given the right to sue, your attorney can help file a lawsuit and fight aggressively for your rights, both inside and outside of court.
