Every lawsuit is different, with each one having its own respective details that increase or decrease your total compensation payout. However, some states limit the maximum amount you can seek for recovery through an employment and workplace discrimination lawsuit. Typically, the limit depends on the number of workers employed by the prejudiced employer. Here are the damage caps that apply to most states:
15-100 employees: $50,000 limit
101-200 employees: $100,000 limit
201-500 employee: $200,000 limit
More than 500 employees: $300,000 limit
Regardless of the amount you’re limited to, there’s always a chance that the at-fault party tries to diminish or outright deny the compensation you’re entitled to. They may try to escape liability by delaying the case, hiding or destroying evidence, or another malicious tactic, but with the help of an attorney, you give yourself a much better chance of sidestepping these hurdles and reaching a successful outcome.
