Wrongful Termination

If you have been terminated, you may want to “investigate” your termination. Many employees are terminated on a daily basis. The vast majority of them are terminated legally; however, there are those who have been unlucky enough to be terminated for the “Wrong reasons”. You may be one of those people.

The only way to find out is to speak with a knowledgeable attorney and to determine whether or not your rights were violated.

If you do not have an attorney on speed dial or are not sure who to call, feel free to reach out to the Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Attorneys and seek legal help, evaluation, and protection.
If you were indeed terminated for the wrong reasons, you will be eligible to file a wrongful termination claim and obtain certain benefits.

Here are the benefits that you will receive if your wrongful termination claim is successful.

Lost Wages

Assuming that you were not able to return to work as a result of your termination, you will be eligible to receive some of those lost wages through compensation. In addition, you will be able to receive additional compensation if you are unable to continue working in the same position. Lost wages and the loss of earning potential are two of the many things that are given to you via compensation. In some cases, you may also receive some of your future wages (which you could have earned if you had continued to work). These are often difficult to calculate and require the help of a professional.

Emotional Distress

There is no price for mental anguish. The pain that you have endured since your accident, the stress and exhaustion, depression and anxiety – all will be compensated to you. However, receiving compensation for emotional distress is more common in discrimination cases. Speak with Wrongful Termination Attorneys in Los Angeles and see whether or not you are eligible to seek these benefits.
However, you will most likely be eligible to seek compensation for your pain and suffering.

Lost Benefits

If you have lost certain benefits (such as medical insurance, fringe benefits), you may receive compensation for these benefits. Most of the time your employer will have to cover your out-of-pocket expenses (in case you spent your money on health insurance, which you would otherwise have if you had not been injured).

The Feeling of Satisfaction

Sometimes, money is not everything. Bringing your employer to justice may be enough to satisfy you, knowing that they will not do anything similar ever again. Many workers who pursue claims do it for the sake of personal vindication, and not just to recover their lost income. So not only will you “punish” your employer for their behavior, but you will also send a message to everyone else who may have endured the same thing. You may inspire others to stand up and do the same. Remember that being seen as a role-model is equally satisfying as bringing people who have done you wrong to justice.

If you have been fired by your employer, then it’s time to contact a Los Angeles wrongful termination attorney. They have years of experience and will fight for your rights to secure the compensation you deserve.
