Not only that but even if you somehow prove it, no lawyer will take the case for actual damages. So the discrimination has to be so egregious that there’s a high likelihood that a jury will award punitive damages and that they will survive appeal.
- nullindividual 2y agoIn Washington State, the Human Rights Commission (not DoL, my bad) performs the investigation and brings forward a case to an administrative law judge. The applicant would not need a lawyer. However, the applicant can bring forward a civil case, if they wish. The lawyer, in a civil case, should already have all of the evidence they need gathered by the HRC. States, countries, etc. will differ of course. I do wonder what it'd be like to have something proved and to have an administrative judge tell the company to hire you anyway... Wouldn't that be super uncomfortable?
