Common questions
What makes a firing 'wrongful'?
A firing is wrongful when it violates the law — for example, discrimination based on race, sex, age, or disability; retaliation for reporting harassment or safety violations; or firing for refusing to break the law.
What is 'at-will' employment?
In most states, either side can end the job at any time. But 'at-will' does not allow illegal reasons — discrimination and retaliation are still unlawful.
What should I save after being fired?
Keep the termination letter, pay stubs, performance reviews, the employee handbook, and any emails or messages about your firing. Write down a timeline while it is fresh.
How long do I have to file a claim?
It varies — some agency charges are due within 180 days. Do not wait; an attorney can identify every deadline that applies to you.
