When you feel that your success on the job depends on your willingness to participate in sexual activities with your supervisor or another employee, you are being placed in a very compromised situation and must get legal advice to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against your employer. The Nourmand Law Firm can help you file and win a sexual harassment case and will protect your rights every step of the way. We are knowledgeable about all California state laws and federal laws regarding sexual harassment and will fight aggressively to protect your rights.
Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination, and an employee may recover for sexual harassment under two circumstances: “quid quo pro” harassment where an employee offers a job benefit or threatens with termination in exchange for sexual favors; and a hostile work environment, when coworkers or supervisors engage in intimidating, ridiculing and insulting behavior. This type of harassment can take the form of sexist comments, sexual jokes, lewd remarks, or simply insults directed at one sex.
Both types of sexual harassment are completely unacceptable in the workplace environment and should not be tolerated by any employer. If you feel that you have become the victim of sexual harassment at work in the Los Angeles area, contact a sexual harassment lawyer from The Nourmand Law Firm immediately.
The courts typically define sexual harassment in the workplace as follows:
- Sexual jokes or comments
- Sexually suggestive pictures
- Unwanted touching
- Leering

If an employer fails to acknowledge that sexual harassment is occurring in the workplace, or fails to investigate your claim or complaint, they may be guilty of failure to investigate under California state and federal laws.
