The chances of winning your discrimination case can vary dramatically depending on the particular circumstances you face. When a lot of evidence has accumulated against your employer, such as emails and history of discriminatory remarks in front of multiple witnesses, your chances of winning a lawsuit are higher.
Filing a Claim for Employment Discrimination Before you may file a lawsuit against your employer in court, you must first file a complaint of discrimination with either the EEOC or PHRC. You must file the complaint with either agency within 180 days of the adverse employment action.
The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.
