How Do You File An Age Discrimination Lawsuit?

0

Despite the number of baby boomers in the workforce, age discrimination remains a problem in many businesses. Many companies engage in deceitful and sometimes illegal practices to lay off or fire older workers so they won’t have to pay higher salaries or benefits. If you’re over 40 and feel you’ve been fired from your job due to your age, filing an age discrimination lawsuit may be your last resort. Exhaust all other options to resolve the situation before calling an attorney. Gather all the facts of your case and first present them to the union or grievance board at your company. If you work for a smaller company and don’t have this option, contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and file a complaint with them. Compile all the necessary details for a court case if your complaint with the EEOC is dismissed. You’ll have to prove conclusively that you were let go because of your age. Contact an attorney.
