EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
ATTORNEYS IN CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA

When an employment dispute happens, it’s easy to feel as though you’re not sure who to trust. This is one of the leading reasons why you need to consider experienced employment discrimination lawyers sooner rather than later.

YOUR PROTECTIONS AS AN EMPLOYEE

Federal and West Virginia state laws provide many protections for employees. For example, there are federal and state laws prohibiting sexual harassment, racial discrimination and gender bias in the workplace. West Virginia has taken an additional step by providing a legal remedy in cases involving workers' compensation discrimination. Federal and state laws also enable workers to obtain compensation and benefits that have been illegally denied to them. Victims of employment discrimination or harassment may be eligible for compensation for emotional suffering, lost wages, compensatory damages and/or punitive damages.
