Damages In Employment Lawsuits
Workers who win their lawsuits will receive monetary damages. California courts award two main types of compensation in employment cases: compensatory damages and punitive damages.
Compensatory damages cover the financial and emotional losses that result from a workplace dispute. Punitive damages are intended to punish an employer for malicious or egregious misconduct. Common types of damages in San Rafael employment cases include:
Lost Wages and Benefits
Loss of Professional Reputation
Emotional Distress
Job Retraining
San Rafael Class Actions
Some employers have a pattern of committing labor violations.
When multiple workers are owed wages, have experienced discrimination, or suffered workplace misconduct, they can take legal action together.
A class action lawsuit can be a valuable tool to obtain damages for a group of employees and force an employer to change their unlawful practices.
A lead plaintiff represents a larger group of workers, and the settlement is split among all the class members.
Examples include off-the-clock work, misclassification of independent contractors, unpaid overtime, and other employment issues.
McCormack Law Firm handles class action cases, and we can advise you on whether a class action lawsuit makes sense in your situation and prepare you for the next steps.

I was owed wages and overtime and my employer refused to pay me. So I hired them to file a lawsuit. Bryan easily understood my very complicated case and I am happy with the results. – Ebi Z.
I didn’t have to pay anything, the firm took the whole risk of managing the case. Through the 14 months, Bryan always kept me updated, was very responsive and patient to questions I had. We achieved a resolution out of court in my favor, making me even happier about the experience. – Peter S.
I can honestly say that my experience with Bryan was all the way positive from day one… We had very high expectations about our case and in the end we got what we hoped for. – Roger J.
I won my trial and I got more than I expected. Everyone in the office is so nice and helpful. Even after everything was finished I could call a few weeks after and ask questions to make sure I was protected and they are more than helpful. – Husain N.
I never had to pay Bryan anything up front, nor was ever pressured to settle early. We ended up settling morning of the trial. Bryan is a really sharp, aggressive, seasoned attorney and knew the law inside and out about whistleblower cases. – Kyle B.
