Wrongful Termination

Fired? Terminated? Discharged? Dismissed? Let Go?

Frankly, anyone who has ever been dismissed from a job thinks that it was unfair –and maybe it is. That said, under the law, an unfair termination is not necessarily a wrongful termination. A wrongful termination is a legal term that refers to a termination that happened illegally. You need to consult with an employment lawyer to determine whether you have an actionable wrongful termination case if you have been fired.

Examples of Wrongful Termination Cases

• Employees who filed a legal claim against their employers for workers compensation, or sexual harassment
• Employers retaliating against whistle-blowers
• Employers retaliating against an employee who refused to engage in illegal or unethical behavior
• Employees who were fired in violation of their employment contract
• Employees who were fired because of discrimination based on:
  • race,
  • age,
  • sex,
  • disability,
  • religion,
  • sexual orientation, and
  • national origin
