To successfully win a discrimination lawsuit, documenting every aspect of the situation is crucial. Many individuals who contact us have failed to document anything – no writings, no text, no emails. This absence of evidence can make it challenging to prove instances of discrimination and harassment, especially when these actions are carried out subtly, often in the absence of witnesses. Offensive comments may be made discreetly, turning it into a “he said, she said” situation. In the unfortunate event that you become a victim of discrimination or harassment, it’s imperative to document what was said, who said it, and whether anyone else was present. However, the first step should be to contact an attorney. Seeking assistance from an attorney is vital as they can guide you through the situation. Going directly to Human Resources may not be in your best interest, as they typically prioritize the company’s concerns. An attorney will ensure you document the right things, enabling you to present a strong case in court.
