Firm's Client Obtains Judgment Against the Chicago Hospital in Sex Harassment Case

United States District Court, Illinois Northern District Eastern Division June 2007.

Our client, a former employee of an agency serving a Chicago Hospital brought a sexual harassment charge against the hospital. She claimed that she was subjected to unwanted sexual advances by her supervisor, a Hospital employee. When she resisted, her supervisor became hostile, gave her a poor evaluation and the Hospital made her life miserable in other ways. She filed a charge with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). After investigation, the EEOC concluded that she was sexually harassed and that when she protested, the Hospital and her supervisor tried to transfer her to a distant location, unfavorably altered her working conditions, and gave her a poor evaluation.

Our law firm then filed her case against the Hospital in federal court in September 2006. While the case was in process and to avoid a trial, the Hospital made our client an offer of judgment. According to the offer of judgment, the Hospital agreed that judgment would be entered against it, and in favor of our client for an amount compensating our client for injuries and her attorneys fees.

Satisfied with the Hospital's concessions, our client agreed to ask the judge to enter judgment in her favor, and against the Hospital. The case concluded successfully on June 2007 when the Honorable Judge entered judgment against the Hospital and in favor of our victorious client compensating her for injuries and her attorneys fees.
