Legal Standards In Hostile Work Environment Cases

It is important to understand that while a work environment may be unpleasant, it may not reach the legal definition of a hostile work environment. When a case is filed, the courts look at the entire situation and documented details. Some factors that are considered when determining whether or not a situation reached the level of legally hostile include:

• If the behavior was physically intimidating
• If verbal threats were issued
• The regularity or frequency with which harassing or offensive behaviors occurred
• Whether or not the conduct interfered with the employee’s ability perform his or her daily tasks
• Management’s response to the reporting of the conduct

Since Mr. Womack has years of experience in the area of employment law, he is fully aware of how state and federal laws apply in these situations. He can quickly determine whether or not we should move forward with your case, or if reaching a positive outcome is unlikely.

If you report harassment, it is also illegal for any work retaliation to occur. If your co-workers or supervisors take negative action against you, or if the harassment escalates, you may have additional causes of action against your employer.
