Nobu Malibu Sued by Hostess over Claims of Sexual Harassment and Assault

Under California law, victims of workplace sexual harassment have the right to seek protection from their abuser in various ways. First and foremost, you should tell your supervisor or HR Department about what’s going on as soon as possible. We know it can be intimidating – not to mention, embarrassing – to have to speak about these things with your employer. However, there is no way for them to help you unless they are fully aware of the abuse you are going through.

Upon notification from you, your employer is obligated to investigate the claim and follow the procedures outlined in the company’s anti-harassment policy. You may also have the right to file a claim with the California DFEA (Department of Fair Employment and Housing). In addition, you may have cause to file a civil lawsuit against your employer – an option we can explore with you during a free case review.

The important thing is to learn about your rights as soon as possible. For one thing, you have a limited amount of time to file a claim for sexual abuse in the workplace. You must also have extensive evidence to prove your allegations, and this will be hard to accomplish the longer you wait.

The California sexual harassment lawyers of DTLA Law Group are ready to guide you through the legal process if you are being sexually abused at your workplace. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you believe that your right to a safe and professional work environment has been violated.

In the recent lawsuit against Nobu, it’s been reported that the victim is seeking around $500,000 in monetary damages. This is quite a reasonable amount, considering the settlements and verdicts that we’ve recovered on behalf of our clients. Typically, payments of $450,000 to $2,000,000 and above are fairly standard with these lawsuits, though it’s impossible to say what you are entitled to without knowing the details of your case. That’s why it’s important to consult a workplace sexual assault and harassment attorney as soon as possible. One of our legal experts can help you figure out the damages you are entitled to and a fair amount of compensation to ask for in a lawsuit against your employer.

Frankly, the road to justice can be quite lengthy for those who are suing their employer for sexual harassment and/or sexual assault. This is especially true when the employer is a famous and critically acclaimed entity, like Nobu. These places usually do one of two things – 1) offer a settlement right away in order to avoid negative press; 2) resist liability for as long as possible to avoid ruining their reputation and losing out on a considerable sum of money. But even if you are offered a settlement right away, it’s likely to be a very low amount. With help from an experienced employment rights lawyer, you can negotiate for a higher settlement based on what you actually deserve.

In all honesty, claims involving sexual harassment against an employee take one or more years on average. It’s unlikely that your case will go to trial, as over 95% of all workplace sexual harassment cases are settled out of court. If going to court is the only option, it may be several years before a jury delivers their verdict on your case.

A lawsuit for workplace sexual harassment must be filed no later than 3 years from the most recent incident of abuse. This is a firm deadline, so your right to monetary damages will be invalidated if you do not file a claim by the 3-year deadline. We understand how stressful and intimidating it can be to speak out when you have been sexually assaulted, but we want you to know that taking legal action is completely up to you. Our job is to provide you with legal advice during a free, private consultation. That way, you can make the choice that’s right for you based on the available legal options.

All jobs are challenging and stressful to some degree, but no one should have to deal with sexually inappropriate behavior from their supervisors or co-workers. As someone that was subjected to sexual harassment or sexual assault at work, you have the right to file a complaint and receive compensation for your harm and suffering.

Our lawyers have been fighting for the rights of sexual abuse victims for many years. We understand the life-altering impact of these incidents, and the need to hold workplaces accountable when they fail to protect abuse victims. We are committed to helping victims at every stage of their case, whether you wish to start a sexual abuse in the workplace claim or need a second opinion on an existing lawsuit.

Since we operate under a Zero Fee Guarantee policy, no legal fees are ever charged to you as the client. The cost of legal fees is paid by the defendant as a part of your settlement check, so we only receive payment by winning your case. Essentially, you have nothing to lose by allowing us to represent you in a sexual harassment claim against Nobu Malibu or any other Nobu restaurant location. Please contact us to schedule a free case evaluation or free second opinion.
