Investigate Your Claim to Establish the Facts

We can conduct a full investigation of the case by gathering relevant documents, speaking with witnesses, or even visiting the worksite. We look for evidence of unfair practices or discrimination that can substantiate your claim.

Engage All Parties on Your Behalf

In a liability case, anything you say can and will be used against you. As your attorneys, we can engage with all parties on your behalf so that you are never in a position to incriminate yourself. We can speak with your employer, witnesses, attorneys, and other related entities.

Negotiate a Settlement with Your Employer

We can assess what your case is worth based on the sum of your losses. Afterward, we can meet with your employer to establish the facts of the case, outline your damages and negotiate a fair and just settlement.

Represent You in Court

At Marko Law, we offer comprehensive legal services for your case. We can handle every aspect of your case from start to finish so that you do not bear the emotional weight and stress of your claim alone. When it comes to taking on your employer, don’t go it alone.

Damages in an Employment Law Case

What damages you can receive and the value of your claim depends on the circumstances of your case, the parties involved, and how their actions affected your personal and professional life. While it is impossible to calculate how much your case is worth, Marko Law will work to get you the maximum compensation possible for your losses. Compensatory damages you may be able to claim include

• Lost wages, bonuses, or tips
• Lost future employment opportunities
• Job search expenses
• Emotional or mental trauma
• Personal inconveniences
• Loss of standard of living or joy of life

If our legal team can demonstrate that an employer, supervisor, or coworker intended to treat you unfairly or discriminate against you maliciously, you may also be entitled to receive punitive damages. For instance, if someone at work intentionally prevented you from advancing in your career or hurt your professional reputation, the judge may award you punitive damages. Our law firm can calculate all economic and non-economic losses to determine what your case is worth.
