La Mesa Residents Deserve the Best Legal Representation
Known as the “Jewel of the Hills,” La Mesa is located a few miles east of Downtown San Diego. And with an estimated population of more than 59,000 people, it goes without saying that La Mesa is home to many hard-working people. While most of us are raised to value hard work, and be grateful to the companies that provide jobs for the economy’s benefit, there are times when employers flaunt the laws that protect workers’ rights. When this happens, it is suggested a worker contact a good employment attorney.

What Compensation Can an Employee Recover in a Lawsuit?
While it’s impossible to predict the outcome of any pending legal action, there are general categories of compensation employment attorneys pursue on behalf of their clients. These include:
Pain and Suffering
Experiencing harassment or discrimination at work can lead to a wealth of physical and mental issues. These include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Muscle Spasms
- Insomnia
- Chronic Illnesses
- Other Ailments
Back Pay
In certain cases involving discrimination, and employee might not be properly compensated for hours worked. A court might award back pay as a result.
Lost Wages
This type of award might be given to an employee who was wrongfully terminated and unable to find subsequent work.
Punitive Damages
While punitive awards are rare, they aren’t unheard of. These types of awards are designed to punish the employer and prevent the discriminating violation from ever occurring again. The amounts awarded in these judgments often make headlines.
