Wrongful Termination

Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Attorneys

Southern California Whistle Blower Employee Protection

Legally, an employer cannot fire an employee for being injured at work and filing a workers' compensation claim. They cannot file an employee who refuses to break the law or who "blows the whistle" on illegal activities their company or its agents are engaged in. They cannot fire an employee for complaining about harassment, discrimination, or a hostile work environment.

Even so, none of those facts have ever stopped an employer who wanted to from firing a "problem" employee anyway. Unfortunately, the nature of at-will employment is such that proving an employer acted illegally in a wrongful termination case is a difficult "he said, she said" proposition to win without prompt action on the part of the employee.

Whether you were fired after an on-the-job injury or because you refused the sexual advances of a manager or supervisor, our attorneys can help. To protect your rights, don't delay— contact the Irvine, California, law offices of Oswald & Yap.
