Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rena can sue Omar for assault and battery as these are civil claims against an individual. Omar can also be prosecuted under criminal law for his actions. However, Title VII claims typically involve harassment in the workplace environment, and since the assault occurred in the parking lot and not as part of a workplace harassment pattern, it may not fall under Title VII.
