Wrongful Termination

Losing your job can be devastating, but being fired illegally adds insult to injury.

If you believe you were wrongfully terminated, you may have legal grounds to fight back. Phil Flemming has extensive experience helping employees who have been illegally fired recover compensation and hold employers accountable for their unlawful actions.

Not all terminations are wrongful, but if you were fired for illegal reasons, you have rights.

What Constitutes Wrongful Termination?

While most employment in the United States is “at-will,” meaning employers can terminate employees for almost any reason, there are important exceptions. Wrongful termination occurs when you are fired for illegal reasons, including:

Discrimination-Based Termination

  • Fired due to your race, color, religion, sex, or national origin
  • Terminated because of your age (if you’re 40 or older)
  • Dismissed due to pregnancy or family medical needs
  • Fired because of a disability or perceived disability

Retaliation for Protected Activities

  • Terminated for filing a discrimination complaint
  • Fired for reporting workplace safety violations
  • Dismissed for refusing to participate in illegal activities
  • Terminated for filing a workers’ compensation claim
  • Fired for taking legally protected family or medical leave

Breach of Contract

  • Violation of written employment contracts
  • Breach of implied contracts or employee handbooks
  • Termination that violates company policies

Violation of Public Policy

  • Fired for serving jury duty
  • Terminated for voting or political activities
  • Dismissed for refusing to break the law

Common Signs of Wrongful Termination

You may have been wrongfully terminated if:

  • You were fired shortly after filing a complaint about discrimination or harassment
  • Your termination came after reporting illegal activities or safety violations
  • You were dismissed while on approved family or medical leave
  • The reason given for your termination keeps changing
  • Similarly situated employees were treated differently
  • Your employer violated their own written policies
  • You were fired for refusing to do something illegal or unethical

Frequently Asked Questions

While most employment is at-will, you cannot be fired for illegal reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or violation of public policy.

Employment contracts may provide additional protections beyond at-will employment. We’ll review your contract to determine your rights.

For discrimination-based wrongful termination, you typically must file an EEOC charge before filing a lawsuit. We handle this process for you.
