Lawyers Protecting the Right of Employment Discrimination Victims in Kane County
When you are forced to suffer poor treatment at work due to your gender, the color of your skin, or your religion, you are the victim of employment discrimination. There is no excuse for employers to allow such behavior to continue, yet it persists at levels that can be distressingly high in some areas and industries. These forms of discrimination are illegal, and you have legal options for addressing them. If you were treated unfairly in any way because of protected aspects of your identity, you have the right to take legal action to address the harm you have suffered. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may receive financial compensation, or other actions may be taken to protect your rights.
At Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, we recognize the rights and dignity of every person, and we believe that nobody should be forced to endure discrimination, and especially not in the workplace. We encourage you to discuss your case with us and learn about your options. We will advise you on the best steps you can take to address the discrimination you have experienced. We can help you take action to ensure that you are treated fairly by your employer, or we can pursue compensation on your behalf to address the financial losses and other effects that discrimination has had on your life.
Common Types of Discrimination
Gender discrimination and racial discrimination have long been the most frequently cited types of employment discrimination. Women have had to endure sexually-charged workplaces, unwanted sexual advances from co-workers, and the struggle to obtain pay commensurate with that of similarly qualified men. Both women and men may experience sexual harassment, and they may suffer harm due to wrongful termination or other forms of retaliation after reporting these issues. Race has also been an issue in many workplaces, and discrimination on the basis of religion and national origin has become disturbingly prevalent in recent decades.
Employment discrimination encompasses much more than the loss of your job or an unfair denial of employment. You may have been subject to different work standards than other coworkers, penalized more harshly than others, or simply treated badly. Maintaining a hostile work environment can also be a form of employment discrimination. For example, a workplace that tolerates racist comments or crude and offensive humor may be liable for discrimination. An experienced employment discrimination lawyer can help you determine whether or not you have grounds to file a claim.
