Sexual harassment can occur in a number of ways. There are two main kinds of sexual harassment, including quid pro quo and hostile environment. Quid pro quo is the offering of benefits in exchange for sexual favors. This might include an employer offering a pay raise in exchange for sexual favors. Hostile environment includes hostile or offensive threats, gestures, comments or physical harassment. An example might include a co-worker exposing himself to fellow employees. Both of these kinds of sexual harassment are illegal. Attorneys who specialize in sexual harassment law can help victims understand whether or not thier claim could stand in court and whether they have a shot at winning the case or not. In some instances, lawyers are able to obtain settlements for their clients without going to court.
