You might, but the costs of pursuing an action (money/stress wise) are almost guaranteed to outweigh any monetary benefit. I'd say it's not worth bothering over unless they use it as part of a reason to fire you, then the benefit of suing increases.
Have you ever sued any one?
I can tell you from experience
It requires almost no work/stress if you have a competent lawyer. Most lawyers that sense they can get a settlement take a cut off the settlement.
I'll concede that it's worth asking a lawyer before making a decision.
I just question whether the amount of money that op may get, is worth any potential fallout.
And yeah, I have experience working in law firms, just not as a lawyer yet.
