Wrongful Termination
Let Our Wrongful Termination Attorneys Get You Justice
If you’ve been wrongfully terminated from your job, you have rights and protections under Alabama law. The wrongful termination lawyers at Fenny & Fenny LLC are here to help you understand your options and fight for the justice you deserve.
You Have Rights Against Wrongful Termination Despite “At Will” Employment Status
Alabama is an “at-will” employment state, which means employers can generally terminate employees for any reason or no reason at all. However, there are important exceptions to this rule that protect workers from wrongful termination.
Your Rights Against Wrongful Termination
Both federal and Alabama state laws provide protections against wrongful termination. For example:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits termination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
- The Alabama Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects workers over 40 from age-based discrimination.
- The Alabama Workers’ Compensation Act prohibits retaliation against employees who file workers’ compensation claims.
Wrongful termination may also occur if it violates an employment contract or goes against public policy. For instance, terminating an employee for refusing to engage in illegal activities would be considered wrongful.
Suing for Wrongful Termination
If you believe you’ve been wrongfully terminated, you may have grounds to sue your former employer. In Alabama, the statute of limitations for most wrongful termination claims is two years from the date of termination. Fenny & Fenny LLC’s experienced wrongful termination attorneys can help you gather evidence and build a strong case for your lawsuit.
Damages that can be collected from wrongful termination
If your wrongful termination claim is successful, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
- Lost wages and benefits
- Emotional distress damages
- Punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct
- Reinstatement to your former position (in some cases)
The specific damages available will depend on the circumstances of your case. Our attorneys will work diligently to maximize your compensation.
