Protecting Your Rights Against Wrongful Termination

At MIJ, our attorneys are passionately committed to defending your rights, especially when it comes to wrongful termination. We understand that losing your job under unjust circumstances can be emotionally and financially devastating. That’s why we fight tirelessly for individuals who believe they have been wrongfully terminated.

Recognizing Signs Of Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination can take many forms, and it’s essential to be aware of the signs that you may have been wrongfully terminated:

  • Discrimination: If you were fired due to your race, age, gender, religion, national origin, disability or other protected characteristics, it may be wrongful termination.
  • Retaliation: If you were terminated for reporting workplace misconduct, such as harassment, safety violations or illegal activities, you may have a wrongful termination claim.
  • You are fired, demoted, or suffer adverse consequences after filing a workers’ compensation claim.
  • Whistleblowing: If you lost your job after reporting your employer’s illegal activities or unethical behavior, it could constitute wrongful termination.
  • Breach of contract: If your employment contract specifies conditions for termination that were not followed, your termination might be wrongful.
  • Constructive discharge: If your work environment became so hostile or intolerable that you had no choice but to resign, it may be considered wrongful termination.
  • Violation of public policy: If your termination violated public policy, such as firing you for taking family or medical leave, it could be wrongful.

Employers are often subtle about actions that could be considered wrongful termination. We can help you understand the details of the situation and whether you have a wrongful termination claim.

What To Do If You Believe You Were Wrongfully Terminated

If you suspect you’ve been wrongfully fired, taking the following steps can be crucial:

  • Document everything: Keep records of incidents leading to your termination, including emails, texts and conversations with colleagues or supervisors.
  • Consult an attorney: Reach out to our experienced wrongful termination attorneys at Mendez Isaac Joudi, PLLC. We’ll provide you with the guidance and support you need.
  • Gather evidence: Our legal team will help you collect evidence to build a strong case, including witness statements, employment contracts and performance evaluations.
  • File a complaint: We’ll assist you in filing a complaint with relevant government agencies and exploring potential legal action.

In some cases, there are critical timelines for dealing with a wrongful termination or discrimination claim. The lawyers at MIJ can help you move forward to ensure your rights are not prejudiced.
