An employee has a claim against an employer if they are terminated for any of the following reasons:\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>In violation of the state\u2019s civil rights act through discrimination<\/li><li>As retaliation for an employee exercising their civic rights, like voting rights, jury duty, or the right to organize<\/li><li>If there is a written employment contract, any violation of the contract could be grounds for a lawsuit.<\/li><\/ul><p>In these cases, the employee can file suit stating the wrongdoing in detail.

If you believe you were fired for a medical reason, we\u2019ll assist you in gathering evidence and seeking appropriate restitution.<\/li><li><b>Performance of legal rights or public policy issues<\/b> \u2013 Employers cannot terminate you if you choose to form a union or report a safety violation, or if you are required to perform jury duty or other public service. Our attorneys will review the circumstances of your case and help you build a defense if you think you were terminated under wrongful circumstances.<\/li><li><b>Contract rights and policy issues<\/b> \u2013 Employers cannot violate requirements of an employment contract nor any policy stated in an employee manual or handbook.
