There is no magic formula to figure out what your case is worth. And while every case is different, some factors come up in most cases. The amount of the employee's economic loss is always important to consider. The seriousness and severity of the employer's or harasser's conduct is always important as well.

The answer depends on your claims and willingness to pursue litigation. If your claims are strong and you are invested in the litigation process, it can be very “worth it” to feel you are standing up for accountability, getting compensation for your injuries, and incentivizing the company to change its ways.

The way in which that can be done and proven is generally through circumstantial evidence showing that you are a member of a protected class, that you were denied a promotion, for example, and that the reason that your employer gave for why it denied you that promotion, was actually just a pretext for discrimination.
