Equal Employment Opportunity
Question: Bob, do you have and/or can you direct me to recent stats for employment law litigation $ awards? I want to use this in training, to impress managers with $ that lawsuits could cost them. Please, and thank you.

RESPONSE
Sharon,
I just read something on this the other day. Basically, this is what I read. 60% of the plaintiffs prevail and the average award is $400,000. This does not include the company’s legal fees and time the employees spend involved in responding to requests for information, attending depositions, mediations, pre-trial hearings, etc., etc.
Good luck and thanks for Asking Bob
Response from Sharon
Thanks so much. You’ve provided helpful stats…and I’ll check the site out. As always, you’re responsive and I appreciate your being there. If I ever get a chance to visit my birthplace, Jacksonville, will take you to lunch!
