Before you make the decision to take action and report your sexual harassment to human resources in your company, it may be a good idea to consult with a lawyer to see whether you have a good case and to have some guidance on what steps to take next. If you do plan to sue the defendant at some point in court, then a lawyer is going to be a necessity.

 

There are a number of questions that you and your lawyer will need to discuss about your case to see whether it has merit and to determine the best course of action for you to choose. Some of these questions include:

 

# Is the situation you are discussing legally defined as sexual harassment? This has to be true for you to have a valid legal claim inn court.

# How should I interact with the person who did the harassment going forward?

# Should I look into reporting this harassment to some other agency like the policy or the EEOC to help with my case later on?

# What should I do if there is some retaliation from my employer when I do decide to report the harassment?

# Is it possible to protect myself from this happening again if my employer does not take the right actions after I do a report?
