What is the Average Settlement for a Discrimination or Retaliation Claim? Based on data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the typical settlement amount for employment discrimination claims stands around $40,000.
Two types of remedies are available in EEO complaints against federal agencies: equitable relief and compensatory damages. Equitable relief, also called “make whole” relief, is designed to restore the complainant to the employment situation s/he would have been in if the discrimination had not happened.
I've seen firsthand how these cases can vary widely in California. The average settlement for a disability discrimination case can range from around $25,000 to $500,000. Less complex cases often settle for about $100,000 or less, while more involved cases can exceed $1,000,000. But these are just ballpark figures.
There are limits on the amount of compensatory and punitive damages a person can recover. These limits vary depending on the size of the employer: For employers with 15-100 employees, the limit is $50,000. For employers with 101-200 employees, the limit is $100,000.
In 2020, 6,272 discrimination cases were resolved by EEOC mediation, resulting in $156.6 million in monetary benefits. This makes the average settlement amount approximately $25,000 per claimant. But remember that not all cases are the same, so your case might be worth significantly more or less than the average.
What remedies/damages are available in a Title VII lawsuit? Plaintiffs have a right to jury trials under Title VII, and successful plaintiffs can be awarded lost wages (both past and future), mental/emotional distress (compensatory) damages, punitive damages, and attorneys' fees.
In cases of discrimination in the workplace, you can typically seek compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages. While there's no limit on lost wages, emotional distress and punitive damages are capped at $300,000 under laws like Title VII and the ADA.
There is no magic formula to figure out what your case is worth. And while every case is different, some factors come up in most cases. The amount of the employee's economic loss is always important to consider. The seriousness and severity of the employer's or harasser's conduct is always important as well.
