Wrongful Termination

Bakersfield Sex Discrimination Lawyer

Experiencing discrimination in the workplace can leave you feeling powerless, frustrated, and unsure of how to proceed. You may be dealing with both financial and emotional harm if you were denied opportunities, harassed, or treated unfairly because of your gender.

Working with an experienced workplace discrimination attorney could make a meaningful difference in achieving a positive resolution of your claim. Our Bakersfield sex discrimination lawyer could help you understand your legal rights and fight back against unlawful treatment.

What Qualifies As Workplace Sex Discrimination?

Sex discrimination occurs when you are treated differently because of your gender, sex, or gender identity. State law makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against you based on sex in hiring, promotions, pay, job assignments, or termination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act.

Examples of sex discrimination in the workplace include being passed over for promotions despite equal or better qualifications, receiving unequal pay for the same work, or facing harsher disciplinary actions compared to colleagues of a different gender. In some cases, this unfair treatment may overlap with sexual harassment or retaliation, creating additional claims of workplace bias against your employer. Our Bakersfield attorney could review your case, explain your legal options, and help determine whether filing a lawsuit or administrative complaint is the best next step if you were subjected to this type of gender-based prejudice at work.

How Do You Prove a Sex Discrimination Claim?

Building a successful claim requires collecting and organizing strong evidence. You may need to show patterns of unequal treatment, proof of discriminatory remarks, or documentation that highlights differences in pay, promotions, or job responsibilities. Witness statements from coworkers or evidence of company-wide practices may also strengthen your case.

State courts recognize both direct and circumstantial evidence of discrimination. Direct evidence could be an email or statement from a supervisor that makes the employer’s bias clear. Circumstantial evidence may involve showing how policies are applied inconsistently, resulting in unfair treatment. Our legal team could assist you in gathering, preserving, and presenting this evidence in a way that supports your claim of sex-related workplace bias in Bakersfield.

What Remedies Could You Seek?

You may be entitled to compensation if your discrimination claim is successful. Under state law, remedies may include job reinstatement, recovery of lost wages, and compensation for emotional distress. In some cases, you could also pursue punitive damages if your employer’s conduct was especially harmful or reckless.

Additionally, your case could result in policy changes within your workplace. You may not only be protecting your own rights but also helping to create a safer and more equitable environment for others by bringing your claim. In Bakersfield, our lawyer could advocate for every form of relief available to you under employment discrimination law.

Why Choose Our Firm to Represent You?

Gender-based discrimination claims require persistence and a detailed understanding of state and federal employment law. Attempting to pursue a case on your own may leave you vulnerable to legal tactics designed to minimize or dismiss your claim.

Our experienced attorneys could help you successfully navigate the process. When you work with us, you gain a team that aggressively advocates for your rights, handles negotiations, and is prepared to take your case to court if necessary.

More on Employment Law

Why Should I Hire an Employment Lawyer?

Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.

Know the Law & What is Illegal

Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.

Protection From the Defense

Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.

Featured Areas of Practice

Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:

Class Actions
Harassment
Wage & Hour Disputes
Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Wrongful Termination

If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.

Why Hire a Los Angeles Employment Law Attorney

A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.

When to Hire an Attorney

It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.
