Introduction Of Wrongful Termination? Get Legal Help Now

Losing your job is devastating—especially when it’s unjust. If you’ve been fired unfairly or under suspicious circumstances, you might be a victim of wrongful termination. Don’t stay silent. Don’t let fear win. Get the legal help you deserve and take control of your future.

The law is on your side, but only if you act swiftly and wisely. Here’s how to fight back and protect your career, finances, and dignity.

What Is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee in violation of legal rights or public policy. While most U.S. employment is “at-will,” this doesn’t give employers a free pass to discriminate, retaliate, or breach contracts.

If your firing was illegal, you could be entitled to compensation, reinstatement, or both.

Signs You May Have Been Wrongfully Terminated

Some red flags that suggest your termination might be unlawful include:

• You were fired shortly after filing a harassment or discrimination complaint.

• You requested FMLA leave or accommodations for a disability.

• Your termination came after whistleblowing unethical practices.

• You refused to engage in illegal activities at work.

• You were fired after revealing your pregnancy or religious beliefs.

Even if your employer cited vague reasons, it’s worth investigating.

Common Reasons for Wrongful Termination

Illegal firings often stem from:

• Discrimination based on race, age, gender, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.

• Retaliation for reporting harassment or illegal behavior.

• Violation of employment contracts or company policies.

• Breach of good faith and fair dealing.

• Constructive discharge (being forced to quit due to hostile work environment).

Every detail matters. Understanding the “why” behind your firing is crucial.

Your Legal Rights as an Employee

You have rights under federal and state labor laws, including protection against:

• Discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act

• Retaliation under the Whistleblower Protection Act

• Unfair dismissal under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

• Family and medical leave violations under FMLA

• Wage and hour laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

An experienced employment attorney ensures your rights are defended aggressively.

At-Will Employment vs. Wrongful Termination

At-will doesn’t mean “anything goes.” It means either party can end employment for any lawful reason—but not an illegal one. If the employer violated civil rights, state laws, or contractual terms, you likely have a case.

Don’t let your employer misuse the at-will label to excuse unlawful conduct.
