For a person to be considered a victim of a hostile work environment, he or she has to have experienced repeated or ongoing exposure to offensive and inappropriate behavior or language by fellow co-workers. There are many examples of situations which fall into the category of a hostile work environment and may include offensive situations in which a person is the target of hostility due to his or her gender, sexual orientation, nation of origin, ethnicity, race, or religion. Some of the following unwanted and frequently occurring situations may take place in a hostile working environment:

• Exposure to offense language or materials, such as racial slurs or sexist jokes
• Exposure to pornographic materials, including photographs and video tapes
• Sexual harassment, such as inappropriate and unwelcome sexual comments or physical touching

As the plaintiff in a hostile work environment lawsuit you must be able to prove that you in fact worked in a hostile environment. For example, you must provide proof that shows that you were subjected to unwelcome "severe or pervasive" harassment and that your supervisor knew about the hostile working environment and did nothing to put an end to it. It is very important to hire an accomplished hostile work place lawyer immediately to ensure that every aspect of your case is handled correctly and in a timely manner.
