-
Fired for reporting illegal activity or workplace safety violations (whistleblowing)
-
Terminated due to discrimination (age, gender, disability, race, pregnancy, etc.)
-
Retaliated against for filing a workers’ compensation claim or taking FMLA leave
-
Dismissed after refusing to engage in illegal conduct
-
Let go in violation of an employment contract or company policy
-
Fired for reporting harassment or unethical behavior
If any of these apply to your situation, you may have a wrongful discharge claim.
Federal and state laws prohibit employers from firing employees based on:
-
Protected characteristics (such as age, gender, disability, national origin, or pregnancy)
-
Engaging in protected activities, such as reporting discrimination, taking medical leave, or serving in the military
-
Refusing to break the law or reporting unlawful conduct
Our firm can help determine whether your termination violated these protections—and if so, what legal remedies are available.

What Is Wrongful Discharge?
Common Examples of Wrongful Discharge
Your Rights as an Employee
Wrongful discharge (also known as wrongful termination) occurs when an employee is fired in violation of federal or state law, an employment contract, or public policy. Even in “at-will” employment states—where employers can generally terminate workers without cause—there are important legal limits.
If you’ve been wrongfully discharged, you may be able to recover:
-
Lost wages and benefits
-
Emotional distress damages
-
Reinstatement or severance compensation
-
Attorneys’ fees and legal costs
-
Punitive damages (in some cases)
