What Damages Are Available in an Employment Law Case?

Damages in an employment law case typically fall into two categories: economic and noneconomic. Economic damages are actual monetary damages - how did unfair actions cost you financially? Noneconomic damages may include ways in which discrimination or harassment harmed your well-being. Compensatory damages you may be able to claim include:

• Lost wages, bonuses, or tips
• Lost future employment opportunities
• Job search expenses
• Emotional or mental trauma
• Personal inconveniences
• Loss of standard of living or joy of life

There is also a third type of damages known as punitive damages. If our law firm can establish that the employer or a coworker intended to harm you or our career, the judge may award punitive damages in addition to your compensatory damages. As your attorneys, our goal is to help you get the maximum compensation possible for your damages based on the sum of your losses.
