Were You Wrongfully Terminated?

You may have heard of the terms wrongful firing, illegal termination, or unfair dismissal and thought, “do I have a case of unlawful firing against my former employer?” Below are some factors that can be used to determine if you have been wrongfully terminated and should consider consulting a wrongful termination lawyer in New York. New York and federal laws state that you could have a case if you feel you were fired:

Due to discrimination (age, sex, disability, religion, pregnancy, race, national origin or sexual orientation)
For complaining to your employer about being discriminated against
Due to being the victim of Sexual Harassment
For whistle blowing (complaining about illegal conduct on the job)
For working in a hostile environment
In violation of any contract that stated your duration of employment
For taking time off under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

These are just a few of the common examples of wrongful firing, but it’s crucial to have professionals, like the New York employment lawyers of Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP review your case in order to evaluate if a wrongful termination took place. Many workers also fail to realize that New York employment laws can also provide protection for “independent contractors,” who may have really been employees.

So ask yourself again, “do I have a case of wrongful firing?” Many times it takes a critical review of the company policy, the events leading up to the termination, public policy, or New York employment law to decide if you have a potentially successful claim. Other statutes, such as the New York City Human Rights Law or Americans with Disabilities Act may also need to be reviewed to properly evaluate your claim. Because of the detailed nature of these laws, it is recommended to hire experienced lawyers, such as Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP to bring your case.
