Obtaining Successful Results in Wrongful Termination Cases

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides protection for people who are members of certain classes. These protected groups include those that are identified by race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion and national origin. Wrongful termination occurs when a person is fired from a job based upon a discriminatory action. If you were wrongfully terminated from your job and you believe your race, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion or national origin played a role in your employer’s decision, you may have legal recourse.

Wrongful termination can also be based upon retaliation for whistleblower actions. If you were a third party witness to discrimination, sexual harassment or another unlawful activity, “blew the whistle,” and were subsequently fired or demoted, you may have legal recourse.
