Attorneys Representing Men and Women in Sexual Harassment Claims in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Employers in California are prohibited from participating in and failing to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Unwanted sexual touching, requests for sexual acts, and other sexual comments and sexual innuendoes directed at an employee constitute sexual harassment in violation of federal and state law. Sexual harassment can occur against both men and women.

If you feel you are being sexually harassed in the workplace, this type of behavior must be reported to your employer immediately. If an employer has been notified of sexual harassment in the workplace but fails to take action to prevent the harassment from occurring further, the employer may also be liable to the employee for failure to prevent sexual harassment, also in violation of California law.

All employers have an obligation to provide their employees with a work environment that is free from sexual harassment. If you think that you have been sexually harassed in the workplace, or if you have notified your employer of harassment and they have failed to take any corrective action, contact our office. We will aggressively defend your rights and help you recover compensation for your injuries.
