$150,000 settlement of sexual harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination lawsuit

Client was a young married woman working in a marketing position who was repeatedly propositioned by her immediate supervisor.  The conduct involved unwelcome verbal comments of a graphic sexual nature as well as inappropriate touching.  When she complained to the owners of the company about the sexual harrassment they failed to to conduct an objective investigation and sought to ignore her complaints.  After Waddell Law Offices filed suit against the harrasser and the employer based upon the sexually hostile work environment, the employer retaliated against the client and discharged her.  The complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Berkeley County, West Virginia was amended to add an additional claim of retaliatiory discharge in violation of the West Virginia Human Rights Act.  The case eventually settled before trial for a payment of $150,000 to our client.
