Employee discrimination requires quick action to prevail

Written by our employment lawyers in Virginia Beach

Most employees know that they are protected by various laws against discrimination by their employers. However, due to the large number of laws which could apply to your case, you should immediately contact an employment lawyer should you believe any of your rights are being violated. Your ability to prevail may be eliminated if you wait too long to take action.

For more than a decade, our employment lawyers in Virginia Beach have handled discrimination lawsuits for individuals throughout Hampton Roads, including Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth.

Your Protections
Workers have a number of protections. For example, all employees in Virginia are protected by Title VII, the Virginia Human Rights Act, Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Beginning in July 2020, employees will also be protected by the Virginia Values Act.

To find out whether any of those laws or others apply to your case, it is advisable to consult with an employment lawyer. A good lawyer will be able to:

• Evaluate your case by applying your facts to the law.
• Determine what law or laws may apply.
• Help with the preservation of evidence.
• Help you strategize your next move.

If you have been discriminated against by your employer, your ability to prevail may be eliminated if you wait too long to take action.
