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.
Law § 297(4)(c), punitive damages may also be awarded to aggrieved individuals under the NYSHRL and by the authority of the NYSDHR. As mentioned earlier, punitive damages constitute additional penalties that are added as a way of punishing individuals who violate the law.
Punitive Damages These damages are awarded in cases where your agency's conduct was particularly egregious or malicious. Many Title VII retaliation cases involve punitive damages. However, keep in mind that punitive damages are not available against federal, state, or local governments under Title VII.
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.
Occupational Safety and Health: An employee may not be discharged (or discriminated against) in retaliation for filing a complaint, instituting a proceeding, testifying in a proceeding, or exercising a right under the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA). Wash.
Proving retaliation is difficult but not impossible. In order to prove retaliation, you must show a link between your complaint and your employer's retaliatory behavior. This means collecting evidence of retaliation, including emails, eyewitness accounts and performance reviews.
