Sexual harassment can take many different forms, from unwanted touching and advances to lewd comments and jokes.

Sexual harassment is a type of discrimination that can occur in the workplace, educational institutions, or any other professional or social setting. It is defined as unwanted and unwelcome sexual advances, comments, gestures, or physical contact. Sexual harassment can be verbal, physical, or visual. It can also be indirect, such as making threats or promises in exchange for sexual favors.
Many people believe that sexual harassment only occurs when a person in a position of power harasses someone who is subordinate to them. However, anyone can be a victim of sexual harassment, regardless of their age, gender, or social status.
Sexual harassment can have a devastating impact on its victims, causing them to feel isolated, anxious, and scared. In extreme cases, it can even lead to depression and suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual harassment, it is important to seek professional help. There are many resources available to support victims of this type of discrimination.
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), sexual harassment includes unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature in the workplace or learning environment. Sexual harassment should not necessarily be focused on explicit sexual activity or targeted at a particular individual. For instance, making disparaging remarks about women as a whole may constitute sexual harassment.
Teasing and casual remarks can also be distressing and have a negative emotional impact, despite the fact that sexual harassment regulations typically do not cover these actions.
Sexual harassment can take many forms, but what all forms of sexual harassment have in common is that they are unwanted and unwelcome. Sexual harassment can be verbal, physical, or visual, and it can occur between people of any gender.
It can be a one-time incident or a pattern of behavior, and it can be perpetrated by someone in a position of power or by a peer. Sexual harassment can happen anywhere, including in the workplace, at school, or in social settings. It can make the victim feel humiliated, intimidated, or scared.
One of the most tragic examples of sexual harassment becoming a crime is when it leads to rape. All too often, what starts as seemingly harmless flirting or comments escalates into something much more serious. In far too many cases, the victim is left feeling powerless and alone, with no one to turn to for help. Rape is a devastating crime that can have long-lasting effects on the victim. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
While the two terms are often used interchangeably, there is a key distinction between sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination that occurs when an individual is subjected to unwelcome sexual attention or advances.
In contrast, sexual misconduct is a broader term that encompasses any type of nonconsensual sexual behavior, including such things as rape, sexual assault, and child pornography. Because sexual misconduct covers a wide range of illegal behaviors, it can be more difficult to define than sexual harassment.
However, one thing is clear: both forms of behavior are unacceptable and can have profound effects on the victims. Those who have experienced either form of abuse often suffer from lasting psychological damage, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. They may also struggle with physical health problems, substance abuse, and relationship issues.
Tragically, many victims never receive the help they need to heal from their ordeal. As a result, it is important to be aware of both sexual harassment and sexual misconduct so that we can better support those who have been affected by these heinous acts.
It is the employer’s “obligation to exert reasonable care to prevent and swiftly address harassment,” according to the legislation. An employer must generally exercise reasonable care by creating, communicating, and enforcing an anti-harassment policy and complaint system as well as by taking other reasonable measures to stop and correct harassment.
The #MeToo movement has forced a long overdue conversation about sexual harassment and who is responsible for it. For too long, victims of sexual harassment have been afraid to speak out, fearing that they would not be believed or that they would be further harmed. However, the rise of social media has given them a powerful platform to share their stories and hold their abusers accountable.
As a result, many high-profile figures have been accused of sexual harassment, and the issue is finally being taken seriously. While it is encouraging to see this problem finally being addressed, it is important to remember that sexual harassment is not new. It has always been a part of our society, and the responsibility for stopping it lies with all of us. We must work together to change the culture that allows sexual harassment to flourish and ensure that victims feel safe coming forward. Only then can we begin to stamp out this insidious form of abuse.
Unfortunately, sexual harassment can happen to anyone, regardless of their age, gender, or occupation. It is a sad reality that many people face on a daily basis. Sexual harassment can take many forms, from unwanted comments or advances to physical assault. Unfortunately, it is all too common for people to suffer in silence out of fear of retaliation or because they feel like they won’t be believed.
Significant psychological consequences, including anxiety, sadness, headaches, sleep issues, weight loss or gain, nausea, and diminished self-esteem are some of the significant aftereffects of sexual harassment.
The effects of sexual harassment can be both short-term and long-term. In the short term, victims may experience shock, fear, embarrassment, and anxiety. They may also have difficulty sleeping and concentrating, and may experience physical symptoms such as headaches and stomach problems.
In the long term, the effects of sexual harassment can be even more distressing. Victims may develop post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. They may also have difficulty trusting people and maintaining healthy relationships. The effects of sexual harassment can be devastating, but there is help available. Counseling and support groups can provide much-needed assistance to victims as they try to rebuild their lives.
In addition, seeking legal representation and seeking justice may give the victim a sense of ease. Our team of sexual harassment lawyers can provide specialized expertise.
nform your employer if you see harassment occurring at work. You can also tell the harasser that their actions are not amusing and that they need to stop. Finally, refrain from laughing at the behavior or giving the harasser a platform because doing so will just encourage them to harass again.
Sexual harassment can be difficult to deal with, but it’s important to take action if you witness it. By speaking up, you can help protect the victim and prevent further incidents from occurring.
If you experience sexual harassment, it is important to take action right away. Tell the person who is harassing you to stop immediately. If the harassment doesn’t stop, or if you don’t feel safe confronting the person, tell a supervisor, HR representative, or another authority figure at your workplace. You can also file a formal complaint with your company or union. If the harassment is happening at school, tell a teacher, guidance counselor, administrator, or other trusted adult.
Keep a record of what happened, including the date, time, and location of the incident, as well as the names of any witnesses. This will be helpful if you decide to file a formal complaint. Remember, you are not alone. Sexual harassment is never your fault, and there are people who can help you through this difficult time.

"Working with this law firm made settling my case a breeze! When i was injured in my car accident and my car was totaled, i was so worried about handling the insurance company and all of the phone calls and paperwork while i had a concussion. With a couple visits and a few emails back and forth with my paralegal and attorney, my case was settled in less than a year! If i ever needed to be represented again i will 100% be choosing Breit Cantor Grana Buckner to represent me! I appreciate everything they did for me!"

"Was very happy with the service I received from this office Staff is very helpful & friendly. After just a few months my case was resolved & my outcome was better than expected! Kellie Jennings kept me up to date and informed through it all. I have another pending case & have no reservations that the outcome will be as good as the first. I would recommend to family & friends."
"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"
"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case. Attorney Kevin Biniazan and his team fought well for my rights and I received an extremely good settlement. I encourage you to give them a call as you will have a pleasant experience with their representation!"
"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."
"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.
Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.
If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."
"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."
"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"
"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."
"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."
"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"
"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."
"My experience with the team at Breit Biniazan was nothing short of outstanding. They handled our case with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."
"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."
"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."
"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."
"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"
"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."
"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.
As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.
I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."
"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
