Steps to take if you believe you were wrongfully terminated

Being wrongfully dismissed can be a distressing situation that we want to help you navigate. If you believe you were fired without justification, taking strategic steps like the ones we mention below will help you protect your rights.

First and foremost, gather all relevant documentation related to your termination. This may include, among other things, your employment contract, company manuals, performance evaluations, and any written communications that may be used as evidence. These documents will serve as evidence to file your labor law claim.

Next, review the circumstances that led to your termination and identify possible reasons for wrongful termination.
Once you have a clear understanding of your situation, reach out to an employment attorney to guide you through the process and help you fight for your rights by filing your claim with the appropriate entities or departments.

Before pursuing legal avenues, consider negotiating with your former employer. Sometimes a solution can be reached through mediation to reach an agreement that suits both parties and does not have to go to court.

If, on the other hand, you cannot reach an agreement that enforces your rights, with the help of your lawyer, go to these departments to file a legal claim. Be aware of deadlines for filing claims, responding to legal requests, or attending hearings. Maintaining a proactive approach will contribute to a more effective pursuit of justice for your case.

If you believe you were wrongfully terminated, following these steps can help you navigate the complexities of your employment situation and work toward a fair resolution where you can recover whatever was taken from you when you were wrongfully terminated. If you need help, come to our team of lawyers at Hernandez Law, we will guide you through your legal process so you can recover what belongs to you.
