Many people who have been wrongfully terminated feel powerless, knowing that the situation is unfair but unsure what to do about it. Fortunately, employment law gives you the opportunity to seek redress by filing a wrongful termination lawsuit. E. Seth Combs & Travis O. Terry, attorneys with the Jerry W. Wicker Law Offices in Hindman, KY, offer some tips on filing this type of suit and ensuring justice is done.

The initial step is determining the actual cause which you believe led to your termination. You may be eligible to file a wrongful termination lawsuit if you can demonstrate that you were fired for any of the following reasons:

  • Discrimination: If you were fired because of your age, race, sex, or nationality, then your employer is in clear violation of federal law.
  • Taking Leave: Employers are not allowed to fire employees who take a leave of absence due to family needs or a medical condition.
  • Retaliation: Federal law protects workers who report violations of workplace standards or regulations to government authorities.

These are just a few of the reasons you might be able to file a wrongful termination suit. Once you've gathered all of your documentation, including employee manuals, communications with your employers, and witnesses statements, consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

Filing a lawsuit is a complex process, so you'll need a highly trained attorney to guide you and help you collect the compensation you deserve. Visit Jerry W. Wicker Law Offices’ website to learn more, or just call (606) 785-5556 to schedule a consultation today.
