Wrongful Termination—what is it?

If you are looking for a wrongful termination lawyer, chances are, you were fired and you are looking to find out more about your rights. We are glad to let you know that our wrongful termination attorneys provide free consultations for all cases. First, some information regarding wrongful termination. If you were fired based on an illegal reason, you were wrongfully terminated. What is an illegal reason for termination? If there is a federal protection for it, it is an illegal reason for termination. For instance, there is a federal protection against discrimination in the workplace based on race; therefore, if you were terminated based on your race, you were wrongfully terminated. Wrongful termination commonly occurs after the following:

• Being involved in an investigation against the workplace
• Complaining about workplace discrimination
• Developing a disability
• Going on family leave
• Going on maternity leave
• Going on sick leave
• Reporting a safety violation
• Requesting reasonable accommodations

In addition to the reasons listed above, wrongful termination based on age, sex, sexual orientation, race, color, and religion, for example, is also common.

After your termination, it might be difficult to think clearly, especially if you are suddenly overcome with worry regarding what your future holds after your termination. However, you must always remember that you have rights as an employee; if your rights are infringed, you have the right to take legal action. That is when you want to speak with a wrongful termination lawyer who specializes in employment and labor laws to find out if you have a valid and legitimate case.

Laws Regarding Wrongful Termination

There are many laws that protect employees from wrongful termination. On the federal level, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal for employers to terminate an employee for any of the following reasons: age (for employees over forty-years-old), religion, disability, national origin, race, or gender. It is also illegal to fire an employee for refusing to take a lie detector test under the Employee Polygraph Protection Act. The Immigration Reform and Control Act also makes it illegal to fire employees based on alien status (only applies to employees are legally allowed to work in the U.S.). The Occupation Safety and Health Act also makes it illegal to fire an employee for reporting a safety concern. On the state level, Labor Code 1102.5 LC protects employees from being terminated in retaliation for whistle-blowing. It is also illegal to fire an employee based on anything protected under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. If you would like to learn more about employment laws that make it illegal for your employer to fire you, you must contact our law firm as soon as possible. Our attorneys will provide you with all the information you need to file a claim against your employer.

Do You Have the Right to Sue?

Yes, you have the right to file a claim if you believe that you were wrongfully terminated. It is against the law for an employer to fire an employee without a valid reason. Unfortunately, many employee handbooks contain information about at-will employment. Sections that emphasize at-will employment often mislead employees. At-will is often misrepresented as the employer’s right to terminate the employee at any time and for any reason. However, at-will employment does not allow employers to terminate their employees for illegal reasons. If you are unsure of whether you were wrongfully terminated, you must contact our wrongful termination law firm as soon as possible.

The Compensation Available for Victims of Wrongful Termination

Could you receive compensation for your wrongful termination lawsuit? The short answer is yes; you could be eligible to receive compensation. However, the type and amount of compensation that you could receive is dependent on the specific details of your claim. Some of the common types of compensation available for recovery include the following:

• Lost wages—after you were illegally terminated, you likely lost income. You could be compensated for the income you lost and will continue to lose (back pay and front pay).
• Lost benefits—some of the benefits that you could have lost because of a wrongful termination include life insurance, health insurance, and stocks, for instance. When you were terminated, you might have lost these benefits. You might have also had to pay out of pocket to keep the benefits. Regardless of the situation, you could be compensated for the benefits that you lost after being illegally terminated.
• Pain and suffering—undeniably, a wrongful termination can result in both mental and emotional distress. Fired parties are suddenly faced with having to find another job. Terminations could result in anxiety, depression, fear, and embarrassment, for instance. If you suffered mentally and emotionally after your wrongful termination, you could be compensated.
• Punitive damages—some claims result in punitive damages. Punitive damages could be awarded as a form of punishment for the defendant. Punitive damages are designed to deter defendants from repeating their offense.

In addition to receiving the compensation listed above, parties affected by wrongful termination could also be reinstated into their positions.
