While an employer generally has the right to terminate or let an employee go, they are bound by strict regulations that prevent them from firing employees for unlawful purposes such as discrimination or in retaliation for reporting a safety hazard or illegal conduct (called "whistleblowing"). If you believe that your employer wrongfully terminated your employment, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
The Law Offices of Thomas Hoegh has more than 25 years of experience handling wrongful termination actions on behalf of individuals victimized by the illegal conduct of an employer. We represent employees in Los Angeles and throughout the surrounding communities of the San Fernando Valley and Southern California in a variety of employment law issues. Should you suffer wrongful termination, we will take aggressive action against your employer to secure proper compensation.
Protecting Southern California Workers' Rights
When you contact our firm, we will advise you on how to best assert your workplace rights and file a claim with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. We will begin an immediate investigation into the details of your case, handling the complexities of preserving and securing evidence such as witness statements, physical documentation or corporate records. Our experience includes handling wrongful termination cases involving:
- Disabled workers whose employers claim that they cannot reasonably accommodate the employee
- Workers who have suffered from discrimination based on race, gender, sexual preference, age, religion or disability
- Termination because of an injury or pregnancy
- Termination without justification or long-term employees who are fired without cause
- Civil rights litigation
- Retaliation against whistleblowers, employees who report suspected wrongful conduct or safety hazards
With more than 25 years of experience, we understand the relationships between complex employment issues. If your termination was the result of a workplace injury or disability discrimination, we will coordinate your claims to pursue the full amount of compensation you are entitled to.
Additionally, employees who are working under contract may have additional rights if that contract required them to work for a specific amount of time. We will identify all of your rights and help you pursue a claim if you have suffered financial losses due to wrongful termination.
Wrongful Termination of Public Employees
Public employees may have different rights than employees of private companies. Our firm has significant experience representing public employees, including police officers and firefighters, who have been victims of wrongful termination. We will aggressively assert your rights against a government agency employer.
