Retaliation

Phoenix Retaliation Attorney

Starting in early childhood, people can find methods of getting back at others who have wronged them. Unfortunately, childish retaliation can occur even in professional environments, in ways that can be subtle or painfully obvious.

Retaliation can take the form of the firing, demotion, suspension, transfer, harassment or other negative treatment of an employee. In the field of employment law, such conduct is often referred to as an adverse employment action.

In Arizona, federal and state laws prohibit employers from taking certain retaliatory actions against their employees. If your employer or boss tried to punish you for speaking up about a concern or reporting misconduct, you can file an EEOC claim against your employer and, if necessary, sue your employer with the assistance of a lawyer of your choosing.

How Long Do You Have to File a Retaliation Claim?

In the dynamic landscape of employment law, navigating the intricacies of filing a retaliation claim requires precision and timeliness. If you believe you have experienced retaliation in the workplace, understanding the statute of limitations for filing a claim is crucial.

In Arizona, you have 180 days from the date of the alleged retaliatory action to report the incident.

Navigating the complexities of retaliation claims requires a comprehensive understanding of the applicable laws and deadlines. Consulting with an experienced Phoenix retaliation lawyer can help you determine the appropriate course of action and ensure that your rights are protected within the prescribed time frame.

What Damages Can You Recover in a Retaliation Lawsuit?

Retaliation in the workplace can have far-reaching consequences, impacting not only your professional life but also your emotional well-being and financial stability. If you have been subjected to retaliation for engaging in protected activities, pursuing legal action may entitle you to various forms of compensation to remedy the harm inflicted upon you.

In a retaliation lawsuit, the damages you can recover typically fall into two categories: economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages aim to compensate you for tangible financial losses resulting from the retaliation. This may include back pay, which covers wages and benefits you lost as a direct result of the retaliatory actions. Additionally, if the retaliation caused you to incur out-of-pocket expenses, such as medical bills or job search costs, you may be entitled to reimbursement for these expenses.

Non-economic damages seek to address the emotional and psychological toll of retaliation. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, humiliation, and loss of enjoyment of life. While quantifying these damages can be challenging, experienced retaliation lawyers employ various methods to assess the impact of retaliation on your overall well-being and advocate for fair compensation.

In cases of egregious misconduct or willful retaliation, you may also be entitled to punitive damages. Unlike economic and non-economic damages, which aim to compensate you for losses incurred, punitive damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.

Understanding the full scope of damages available in a retaliation lawsuit requires a thorough evaluation of your unique circumstances and the specific laws governing your case. By consulting with a knowledgeable Phoenix retaliation lawyer, you can gain insight into your legal rights and options for pursuing just compensation for the harm you have endured.
