Litigating the Workplace Harassment Case

Spoliation of Evidence: Sanctions and Remedies for Destruction of Evidence In Civil Litigation, Second Edition

Marlene Heyser

Over the past few years, courts have recognized harassment based on criteria extending beyond sexual harassment in the workplace. As a result, litigation in this area has increased and expanded to include all protected under the Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Litigating the Workplace Harassment Case provides a comprehensive look at litigation and settlement strategies for such cases. Written by renowned defense and plaintiff counsel, the book begins with an exhaustive review of the law governing workplace discrimination and discusses all aspects of the workplace harassment case from both the defense and plaintiff side.

In particular, a review of the use of insurance coverage in discrimination and harassment cases is addressed, and how overlooking this important aspect can have severe ramifications for litigation or settlement.

A Lawyer's Guide to Understanding Earning Capacity Assessment and Earning Capacity Options

Stan Owings

Courts often need to determine the impact of an incident on the capacity of an individual to be employed and to earn wages. Rehabilitation counselors frequently are utilized in the legal field to provide this future-earning-capacity assessment. In fact, this method of assessing earning capacity is most acceptable within the parameters of legal requirements developed by recent court decisions.

This book explains the basic concepts of earning-capacity assessment and identifies the considerations that go into determining an earning-capacity assessment. In addition, the book provides a concise explanation of why rehabilitation counseling provides a legally sufficient basis for determining earning capacity. It takes into account the requirements placed on expert methodology by courts since the Daubert and Kumho decisions, which concerned expert opinions not based on accepted methodology.
