Pasadena Wrongful Termination Attorney

Both federal and state laws are in place to protect workers from discrimination in the workplace. This includes protection from a person being fired based on their:

• Race and color
• Nationality
• Sexual orientation
• Marital status
• Pregnancy
• Gender identity
• Disability
• Religion or creed
• Age

We are going to use statistics from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency charged with ensuring employers abide by federal laws. They regularly bring charges against employers based on the items listed. For the latest reporting year, there were 24,600 charges brought by the EEOC on race discrimination, 24,655 charges based on sex discrimination, and 24,605 charges based on disability discrimination.

Employers who fire workers for illegal reasons typically fabricate valid justifications for letting said workers go. For example, perhaps you cooperated with investigators looking into safety violations in your workplace. Maybe your employer became aware of this and terminated your employment shortly after.

If asked to provide a reason for firing you, your employer will likely cite poor work performance or a similar justification. This is one of many reasons it’s important to enlist the help of legal professionals who have experience handling cases like yours when filing a wrongful termination claim or lawsuit in Pasadena.

If you have a legitimate case against an employer, an experienced Pasadena wrongful termination attorney may be able to strengthen your case by:

• Gathering evidence such as performance evaluations, correspondence, and other such documentation indicating your employer has historically been pleased with your performance
• Interviewing coworkers, clients, and others whose testimony may indicate your employer’s stated reasons for terminating your employment are false
• Researching your employer’s history to determine if they have a habit of illegally firing employees
• Gathering evidence indicating you may have been the victim of other forms of workplace retaliation or discrimination before you were ultimately fired
