Wrongful Termination

What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired in violation of California or federal law or public policy, despite California's at-will employment doctrine. While employers can generally terminate employees for any reason, they cannot fire workers for illegal reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or breach of contract. Mohseni Law Group helps employees who have been unlawfully terminated seek justice and compensation for their losses.

Types of Wrongful Termination:

  • Discriminatory Termination: Firing based on protected characteristics like race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation.

  • Retaliatory Termination: Dismissal for engaging in protected activities like filing complaints or reporting violations.

  • Breach of Contract: Termination that violates the terms of an employment contract or company policy.

Common Wrongful Termination Scenarios:

  • Whistleblower Protection: Firing for reporting illegal activities, safety violations, or unethical behavior.

  • Medical Leave Violations: Termination for taking protected medical leave under FMLA or California's family leave laws.

  • Constructive Dismissal: When working conditions become so intolerable that resignation becomes the only option.

Why You Need Legal Representation for Wrongful Termination:

  • Evidence Preservation: A lawyer can help gather and preserve crucial documentation and witness testimony.
