Workplace Discrimination Lawyers in New Jersey
Employment law involves a wide range of issues related to employees' rights in the workplace. When an employer acts in a manner that violates an employee's legal rights and causes damages, the employee may possess a cause of action against the employer or others.
These cases are highly fact sensitive and require that the injured employee prove the employer's conduct fell below required legal standards. Successful claimants may be entitled to compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorneys' fees and costs of suit.
Compensatory damages, in particular, may include lost wages, medical expenses and damages for emotional distress. Additionally, employees who are forced to accept a job that pays less than what they were previously making, may be entitled to the difference. Contact a Reinartz Law workplace discrimination lawyer if you have a claim.
