Age Discrimination Expert Witnesses
What is an age discrimination expert witness?
Typically, an age discrimination expert witness has a background and expertise in employment law, human resources, and/or economic damages as they relate to emotional distress damages and employment discrimination. Age discrimination involves prejudicial attitudes towards older people and the aging process; discriminatory practices against older workers; and practices and policies that foster stereotypes about elderly people. Affirmative action is a set of laws and policies intended to end discrimination, and primarily focuses on education and employment. The US government agency Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing employment laws regarding discrimination against an applicant or employee due to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetic information. Further, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits employment discrimination against persons 40 years of age or older.
What types of cases require an age discrimination expert witness?
An age discrimination claim requiring age discrimination expert witness services are often brought in employment law cases, such as wrongful termination, disparate treatment, hiring practices, and harassment. Other cases might include housing discrimination or insurance discrimination.
What litigation support work might an age discrimination expert witness be expected to perform?
Age discrimination litigation support could include record review, research, expert opinion, and expert testimony in court. In a high-profile case, a law firm may request a testifying expert with prior expert witness experience. In addition, a law firm may seek an affirmative action expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
