Texas Wrongful Termination Attorney
Wrongful Termination
Many states, such as Texas, are “employment at-will” states.
This generally means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time for any lawful reason.
This does not mean, however, that an employer can terminate an employee for any reason whatsoever. In some situations, it is illegal for employers to fire their employees.
If you believe your employment in Texas was illegally terminated, you should seek help from David Langenfeld, an experienced Texas wrongful termination attorney who will fight for you.
Examples of How a Texas Wrongful Termination Attorney Can Help You
There are many reasons that the law might consider a termination wrongful, the most common scenarios being:
- The employer is in violation of terms of the employee’s employment contract by firing him/her. This scenario is also a breach of contract issue.
- Termination is motivated by illegal discrimination.
- The employer is retaliating against a worker after they filed a workers’ compensation claim.
- Termination is in retaliation against an employee’s whistleblower complaint, or an employee’s refusal to perform an illegal act.
- Termination for requesting to be paid overtime wages or minimum wage.
As you can see from these examples, wrongful workplace termination cases often go hand-in-hand with other labor and employment law violations.
Legal Requirements for Filing Against Wrongful Termination in the Workplace
The laws that govern these claims often require that an aggrieved employee file a claim or a lawsuit within a certain amount of time and often with a particular state of federal agency.
Otherwise, the employee may be prevented from ever going to court.
