Pomona Wrongful Termination Lawyer

Some scenarios that might qualify as legally actionable wrongful termination in California include:

• Discrimination: If it can be established that your firing was based on a protected characteristic, such as your race, gender, age, religion, disability, etc., then you may be able to seek damages for wrongful termination.
• Retaliation: A particularly insidious–and common–form of wrongful termination is retaliation-based termination. This occurs when a worker is fired in response after engaging in legally protected activities, such as reporting safety violations, contacting HR, exercising workplace rights, exercising civic rights, or refusing to follow illegal work orders.
• Breach of Contract: While most jobs in the state are “at will,” others are protected to a much greater degree by the explicit language in employment contracts. This is especially likely to be true if your workplace is supported by a union or other collective bargaining structure. Many employment contracts include very specific terms that must be met to terminate the agreement.
• Wrongful Termination in Disguise – Some companies and bosses will go to great lengths to disguise the true nature of a firing to avoid wrongful termination charges. A common example involves creating intolerable working conditions that force the employee to quit, thus avoiding the need to formally fire them. This obfuscation doesn’t make wrongful termination any less illegal, however. In fact, these clumsy attempts to deceive the system can actually result in additional legal trouble.

FAQs

Q: How Do You Argue Wrongful Termination?

A: As with most other legal matters, proving wrongful termination in a legally satisfactory way involves presenting evidence in support of your case. This can involve coworker testimony, copies of emails, video surveillance footage, company records, or any number of other things, depending on the unique circumstances of your case. Specifically, you’ll need to prove that the termination of your employment violated a particular law or contract term.

Q: What Is the Burden of Proof for Wrongful Termination in California?

A: In California, as in most civil cases throughout the country, the burden of proof for a wrongful termination case lies with the employee, i.e., the plaintiff. They must present sufficient evidence to show that the termination was unlawful, e.g., based on discrimination or conducted in retaliation. The case does not have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, as in a criminal case; a preponderance of the evidence is sufficient in a civil claim.

Q: What Is the Average Settlement for Wrongful Termination in California?

A: Because every case is so different, there is no meaningful “average” settlement for these sorts of cases. Settlements may include payment for lost income potential and other, less tangible, damages, so they can become quite substantial in the most egregious cases. Your attorney can estimate the true value of your damages in a wrongful termination claim.

Q: What Qualifies for Wrongful Termination in California?

A: There are various termination scenarios that might qualify as wrongful termination in California. If someone loses their job due to discrimination or retaliation, or if the firing represents a breach of an employment contract, there may be grounds for a wrongful termination claim. A skilled employment lawyer can determine if your case qualifies as wrongful termination.
