Employment Discrimination

Larson Law Firm of Minot, North Dakota, represents employees who have suffered financial losses due to:

• Workplace discrimination by an employer, supervisor or coworker based on age, race or ethnicity, gender, disability, pregnancy status or religion.
• Sexual harassment or hostile work environment based on gender
• Retaliation or wrongful discharge for reporting safety violations, environmental abuses or criminal activities; or for refusing to perform illegal acts

Discrimination can relate to screening and hiring practices, pay differential, being passed over for promotions, work assignments, discipline, and termination. It can also include failure to make reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Remedies in Employment Litigation

Victims of harassment, discrimination or termination can seek damages for back pay, front pay (what they would have earned if they continued with the job), damage to reputation, emotional distress and related medical care/counseling. In certain situations, remedies may include promotion or reinstatement. In egregious cases of sexual harassment, whistleblower retaliation or systemic discrimination, victims may be awarded punitive damages. The large majority of cases are settled out of court.
