Harrassment And Bullying
You can make a claim for compensation if you have been bullied at work and the harassment has resulted in stress, anxiety, depression or distress.
People are understandably reluctant to speak out against harassment because they are afraid of losing their job. This situation is made worse because the person doing the bullying is often the victim’s boss.
Our expert and experienced legal team can help remove the stress and anxiety by dealing directly with your employers. All employers have a legal duty to protect employees from harassment and you are entitled to claim compensation if they fail to do this.
Most people know that you can take action if you are bullied because of your sex, age, race or disability. However you can also claim compensation from your employers for any type of harassment under the Harassment Act 1997.
Your claim can include lost earnings as a result of being forced out of your job into lower paid work, or missing out on pension or other benefits you would have been yours if you hadn’t left.
