How can I file a lawsuit against Public Storage?

Can you file a lawsuit against a company who allowed an affair between a member of management and an hourly employee that caused a divorce when it was against company policy?

  • Answer:

    No. It days long past, the spurned spouse could sue the paramour for a claim of "alienation of affection" but nearly every state has done away with that cause of action. And there is no law that would allow an employer to be held liable to a spouse for an affair that happened at the office. DependsThat depends on who you are and what your relationship is to the parties onvolved. If you are the spouse of the employees, I agree with the above answer that no, you have no standing to sue the company. If you are a party to the relationship, and there has been retaliation or discrimination against you, then it may be possible. If you are an employee who can show that the employee in the affair received preferential treatment to your detriment, you may also have a cause of action. You should consult with a lawyer. No. The company didn't make you marry the person. The company can try to take away your severance because you broke company policy thus breaching your contract by dating and marrying coworker. Good answers above. The first question after "can I sue for damages" is "Did the folks you want to sue have a known duty to DO X or to PROHIBIT Y? Known means published by an authority." Find a reg or statute that says "all employers must prevent employee adultery on and off duty" or you have zero lawsuit. If such a law EXISTS, you have the entire burden of proof to show a court that the employer failed to carry out that known duty. The defendant-employer has no burden of proof, and need not even respond. Good luck.
