How Do I Sue My Self Insured Employer?
Your self-insured employer may have committed an actionable offense. Sexual harassment and other types of conduct in the workplace can lead to lawsuits. If you wish to sue your employer, the fact that they possess self insurance has no bearing on the steps you need to take. You will simply win money directly from the employer rather than from an insurance agency. If you fail to win the suit, you won't recover money from anybody.

Read the rules of Civil Procedure. You will need to obey these rules to pursue the lawsuit. You need to file a complaint.

The filing fee for the lawsuit varies based upon jurisdiction; however, it will generally exceed $300.
