Sexual harassment complaints are filed with the EEOC each year, to the tune of approximately 15,000. While a large majority of these complaints are resolved, some of them are not. Some individuals take their harassers to court rather than lodging a complaint with the EEOC. However, three-fourths of EEOC complaints are handled with settlements or some other resolution that finds justice for the harassed. Sexual harassment is illegal, and those who have experienced it deserve compensation for their pain and humiliation. A sexual harassment attorney can help with this, as they are proficient in understanding sexual harassment statutes and which cases are strong enough to win lawsuits. They can also help the victim form a strategy and discover what should be done next.
