Types of Workplace Torts
While you do have legal recourse for wrongful termination, discrimination, and sexual harassment, these do not typically fall into the category of intentional workplace torts. There are many other ways, however, that an employer can unlawfully harm you and your reputation.
The most common types of workplace tort claims include:
- Defamation, including libel and slander
- Unjustified disclosure of confidential information
- Invading your privacy while conducting personal activities
- Assault or battery
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress
- Discharge in violation of public policy
At Fitzsimmons Law Firm PLLC, our West Virginia workers’ compensation attorneys proudly represent workers in these and other types of intentional tort claims. Since the early 1980s, our firm has stood for the rights of injury workers and their families, helping them obtain the justice and fair compensation they are due.
