Should I get a lawyer

Answered 7 years and 10 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer
When an employee sexually harasses another employee and the victim of the harassment reports it to her supervisor or manager, the company is then under a legal duty to investigate the problem and discipline or fire the perpetrator. At the very least the two should not have been working together after the manager became aware of the situation. It appears that your daughter's company did not take any of the aforementioned remedies and consequently the store is probobally liable. I have done many of these cases in Texas and in Florida and liability looks pretty solid here.   Stephen Black, Attorney Offices in Orlando and Houston... Read More
