Experienced Workplace Discrimination Lawyers
Federal and state laws prohibit discriminating against employees or job applicants who belong to certain groups. You may have a claim if you have experienced any of the following:
- Racial discrimination
- Gender discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Disability discrimination
- National origin discrimination
- Religious discrimination
The state of Kentucky also bans discrimination against smokers, and sexual harassment may be considered a type of gender discrimination.
In order to prove an employment discrimination case, you need to show that there was a negative effect on your employment that occurred because of your membership in a legally protected group.
Advocates for Victims of Retaliation
If your employer or any superior at your workplace has taken any action against you for complaining about or reporting discrimination, you may have grounds to sue for retaliation.
Even if your underlying claim of discrimination can’t be proven or doesn’t line up with what is prohibited by law, you can't be penalized for making a good-faith complaint. If you've been fired, demoted, refused promotion or otherwise mistreated for reporting what you believed to be discrimination, our attorneys can help you explore the possibility of a retaliation lawsuit.
