Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination occurs when an employer illegally terminates an employee. Examples of illegal termination could include when an employer discriminately fires an employee, breaches the employment contract with their employee, or terminates employment in retaliation for the employee exercising his or her given rights. An employer does not need a reason to terminate employment in California, however, they can not illegally end your employment. If your employer has dismissed your employment based on your race, religion, gender, disability, medical condition, age, or request for family medical leave, consult with legal representation immediately. Call JML Law at 818-610-8800 to speak with a wrongful termination attorney.
What You Should Know
There are federal and state laws governing wrongful termination. California’s wrongful termination laws, applicable in Long Beach, protect employees’ rights to work without bias, discrimination, and/or unlawful termination from their employer. The average wrongful termination settlement is $40,000. Each case is unique and has several varying factors to determine the amount set for damages. Having legal representation ensures you get the maximum settlement possible. There are several factors that determine what possible damages are owed when a case is settled. Possible damages owed could be:
- Lost wages from unemployment
- Lost benefits
- Reimbursement for health insurance
- Moving expenses, if you had to move to find employment
- The cost of finding new employment
