Our Firm Can Help When You’ve Been Wrongfully Terminated
Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is discharged without a valid reason. For a termination to be considered “wrongful”, it has to be illegal. This means that an employer must violate the law when discharging the employee. When an employee is wrongfully fired, his/her legal rights are disregarded and compromised.
Example of Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination is extremely unfair and can be very difficult to prove. For example, if an employer fires an employee based upon the employee’s age, gender, or ethnicity, it would be considered wrongful termination because the employer violated anti-discrimination laws. However, if the employer lets an employee go due to a petty conflict, it is not regarded as wrongful termination, even though the reason for termination is a bit unfounded.
Working With an Employment Law Attorney
In some cases, people who have been wrongfully terminated may be able to file a civil lawsuit against their ex-employers. A lawsuit may be filed to collect punitive damages from the employer if the employee can prove in a court of law that he/she was wrongfully terminated.
Proving wrongful termination is never easy. That is why people who have been wrongfully terminated should always take the time to review their legal options with a knowledgeable employment law attorney.
An employment lawyer can look into the person’s individual situation, investigate the facts surrounding the case, interview witnessed or the ex-employer, and help the employee build a stronger case.
By hiring the right attorney, people who have been wrongfully fired may be able to recover monetary damages for their unjust termination, lost wages, and emotional suffering.
