Fight Back If You’ve Been Wrongfully Terminated
Being terminated from a job is a stressful time in a person’s life. This feeling is greatly exacerbated when the termination is wrongful. At the office of Jay S. Rothman & Associates, our attorneys and staff are dedicated to vindicating the rights of individuals who have been illegally dismissed from their jobs. We are aggressive in our pursuit of justice and stand by you throughout the entirety of the case.
Wrongful termination can happen in two ways: actual termination and constructive termination. The latter is a situation in which job conditions deteriorate and/or become hostile to the point at which you no longer feel that you can work there and resign. Our firm provides thorough representation to clients who have been wrongfully terminated in either of these two ways. Termination from a position is wrongful if it is based on, among others, any of the below situations in which you have been involved:
- Discrimination
- Retaliation
- Whistleblower
- Sexual harassment
- Workers’ compensation
- Pregnancy
Do not sit idly by and do nothing about your wrongful discharge situation or if you were manipulated into quitting. There are time constraints on your ability to pursue your claim against your employer. Our firm can efficiently handle your case while providing you with essential information and guidance.
The At-Will Myth
Every employer who has worries about their treatment of employees likes to remind everyone of the fact that California is an at-will employment state. “Anyone can be fired for any reason.” However, they use this to intimidate, but it doesn’t mean what the employer implies.
At will employment mean you or the employer can end the working relationship at any time. This protects your ability to quit. However, “For any reason” is not as wide as employers would like. If the reasons for your hiring are based on discriminatory or other illegal factors, they cannot fire you for them.
Damages You Can Recover
In a wrongful termination suite there is considerable opportunity to receive compensation for damages. You can receive such damages from your employer as:
- Compensation for lost wages
- Compensation for emotional distress
- Punitive damages for particularly egregious conduct
- Attorney fees
In some cases, reinstatement is also a large part of the lawsuit and something we pursue, when the circumstances make sense. These damages are also part of the calculation if your employer retaliates against you.
