The EEOC, or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is the organization that enforces sexual harassment statutes. According to the EEOC, sexual harassment complaints come in numbering approximately 15,000 each year. A large portion of these complaints are solved, and millions of dollars in damages are recovered for the victims each year. Even individuals who have filed a claim with the EEOC should consider contacting a sexual harassment attorney. This kind of attorney can help victims understand whether or not they have a strong case, what moves to make next and what their rights and options are as a victim under the law.
