Claiming Sexual HarassmentWritten by Maui Reyes
If you’ve already approached your employer about sexual harassment that took place and was not given proper attention, or believe that your company’s policy does not treat your case fairly, then you may consider other options.You can file a Title IX complaint with office for Civil Rights. This can be found at United States Department of education. Title IX covers all students and employees of institutions that are granted federal aid. You don’t need a lawyer to file a complaint. However, when you decide to sue, you will need an attorney to file a Title IX lawsuit. You can also file a Title VII complaint with local Equal Employment Opportunity Center office, or with whatever agency in your state or community that handles fair employment practices. Again, you don’t need a lawyer to file a complaint. If investigations render unsatisfactory results, then you can proceed to file a civil lawsuit for damages under Title VII or agency that handles fair employment practices—to do so, you are often needed to be granted permission to do so by EEOC.

Almost $165 million is spent treating dog bites and 70% of dog bites occur on owner's property. In most cases like this, dog’s owner is required to pay for damages caused by his pet’s attack. However, there may be times when dog’s “keeper” may be held liable at time of attack. The landlord too may have culpability for an attack of his tenant’s dog in limited circumstances. The medical expenses that will be incurred due to dog bites is very high particularly with regards to scarring injuries. Scars can be a serious, life-long result of a dog bite. Children, because of their size, are particularly susceptible to bites around head and face. Scarring injuries not only cause physical problems, but can also cause long term emotional trauma, requiring a significant amount of psychological counseling.
