Coping with the overwhelming aftermath of unexpectedly losing your job can be challenging. Being terminated from employment under unlawful circumstances can be one of the most stressful experiences. At the Law Offices of Alan F. Cohen, we understand the emotional and financial burden wrongful termination can bring to your life. Our wrongful termination lawyers in San Mateo are ready to help you take back control.
Understanding Wrongful Termination
California is an at-will employment state, meaning that employers generally have the right to terminate employees for any legal reason or no reason at all. However, there are critical exceptions to this rule. If you’ve been fired for reasons that violate federal or state laws, your termination may be considered unlawful.
Wrongful termination can include:
- Being fired in retaliation for reporting unsafe work conditions or illegal activities.
- Losing your job after requesting accommodations for a disability.
- Termination due to discrimination based on age, race, gender or other protected characteristics.
- Being dismissed for asserting your rights, such as requesting overtime pay or filing a whistleblower claim.
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you likely have legal recourse to pursue justice. At the Law Offices of Alan F. Cohen, we provide strong representation tailored to your specific situation.
The Impact of Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination can disrupt not only your career but also your financial stability and emotional well-being. Losing your source of income unexpectedly can lead to mounting bills, stress about your family’s future and damage to your professional reputation. The toll doesn’t stop at financial loss; many terminated employees experience anxiety, depression and reduced self-confidence.
However, you don’t have to go through this alone. Understanding your rights can give you the tools to regain control over your situation. With the right legal support, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Lost wages and benefits.
- Emotional distress caused by the unlawful termination.
- Legal expenses incurred throughout the process.
- Reinstatement to your former position if applicable.
Taking action not only helps you recover but also holds employers accountable for their actions, creating safer workplaces for everyone.
