Is $45,000 a Lot for a Sexual Harassment Settlement?

Since then, lawyers have struggled to find a basis on which to conduct settlement negotiations. As with any litigation, the plausibility of the claim influences the amount. Employers are unlikely to settle a claim they?re convinced they could beat in court for anything more than a ?nuisance? payment of some $5,000 or so. (Kraushaar?s settlement was well in excess of a typical nuisance settlement.) If a plaintiff actually files her claim in court, forces the employer to respond to a couple of motions, and survives a motion to dismiss, the settlement will be higher as a result.
