wLocated in Cali,
I had a hostile work environment long story short
1.tugs at my hair
2.sexual remarks
3.bringing up medical history
4.calling me the b word
5.sending me on personal errands outside of job description
I worked with this company for 4 yrs then the last 1 1/2 was he'll I started to drive home crying,then came panic attacks and constant work flashbacks leading me to go on medical leave they approved medical leave and still on it. I then brought up everything to HR and it was a 2/3 email exchange then I was ignored so I got a lawyer on my drs. Recommendation saying work is the cause of PTSD I've seen 3 drs all confirming this... I got denied workers comp and now the company wants to pay me a settlement. About 8months worth of pay and for me to resign and close the case. I'm. At a los because I I have to be medicated now and still wake up crying with dreams from work..my lawyer is leaning to settle because he says it's all mental if we go forward that I might lose all the money because court can't see mental trauma.. I wish they could I have been home bound for a yr and a half now and I panic at the thought of leaving home for fear of getting hurt like work
Any advice is appreciated !
