Firm's Client Obtains Judgment Against a Chicago Hospital in Sex Harassment Lawsuit

In June of 2007-Our client, a former employee of an agency serving the 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 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, defendent 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 defendent'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 Defendent, and in favor of our victorious client compensating her for injuries and her attorneys’ fees.
