Los Angeles Veteran Discrimination Lawyer

Some employers still treat veterans unfairly because of military service obligations, disabilities connected to their service, or stereotypes about former service members. Our employment attorneys at LNN help protect the rights of current and former military personnel who suffer workplace discrimination.

If you believe your employer treated you differently because of your military background, our Los Angeles veteran discrimination lawyer could evaluate your situation and help you determine the appropriate course of action.

What Is Veteran Discrimination in the Workplace?

Veteran discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant receives unfavorable treatment because of their military service, veteran status, or obligations related to military duties. Federal laws, such as the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, protect service members from workplace discrimination.

Our Los Angeles attorneys identify workplace discrimination against veterans that may not be initially obvious. You may have assumed the unfair treatment is simply part of a difficult work environment, when in fact it violates employment laws.

Examples of potential discrimination based on your veteran status could include:

Refusing to hire you because of your military service, despite your qualifications
Denying you promotions
Terminating you after military leave
Retaliating against you for asserting your protected rights
Harassing you because of your military obligations
Refusing to reinstate you

The law generally prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on an individual’s military service or obligations. When your employer ignores these protections, we could help you take legal action.

Warning Signs of Discrimination

If you are a veteran in Los Angeles seeking legal representation from our firm, the first sign of discrimination you probably noticed was a sudden change in treatment after disclosing military obligations or requesting protected leave.

Additional indicators of discrimination often include:

Negative treatment following military leave
Unequal discipline compared to non-veteran employees
Derogatory comments about your military service
Loss of responsibilities after returning from deployment
Exclusion from advancement opportunities
Pressure to resign

Documenting these warning signs, as well as performance evaluations, emails, and text messages, could help establish what occurred and why. Additional evidence we could help you collect includes personnel records and witness statements.

How We Could Help With Your Claim

Veterans who experience workplace discrimination in Los Angeles often benefit from legal counsel. We could help you by identifying applicable state and federal protections, gathering evidence that supports your claim, including reviewing your employment records and workplace communications, and evaluating your potential damages and losses.

We could also communicate with your employer and provide representation during settlement negotiations. If negotiations fail, our attorney could file the necessary administrative complaints or pursue litigation.

Compensation and Remedies in Veteran Discrimination Cases

Our attorney could help you identify which remedies you could pursue as a veteran who experienced discrimination from your Los Angeles employer. The specifics of your case could affect which damages we could help you pursue. Compensation may include lost wages, lost benefits, and reinstatement to your position.

The value of your claim depends on numerous factors, including the nature of the violation, the duration of the discrimination, and the financial consequences you suffered. As every case is different, it is important to seek legal counsel, and we could offer advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

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 LNN 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 LNN, 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.

How We Can Help

When employees are discriminated against, harassed, or mistreated, they deserve an advocate. They deserve someone who will fight to protect their rights and hold wrongdoers accountable. At LNN, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys aggressively defend the rights of workers, never resting until justice is served. Companies big and small often take advantage of employees, failing to pay them sufficient wages or creating an unsafe, hostile work environment. We believe that workers deserve better. Our firm is dedicated to helping those that have suffered at the hands of their employers.

Proven Results for Our Clients

We believe that employees deserve to be treated fairly; anything less is unacceptable and unlawful. When there has been a violation of state or federal law, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys do not give up. We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment. If your employer has engaged in any form of harassment, discrimination, or abuse, you should not wait. Get the legal help you need now.
