Wrongful Termination
Being terminated from a job is devastating. Especially if you were let go wrongfully. You do not have to accept it, if you were in fact wrongfully terminated you can receive the compensation needed. There can be several different reasons considered as wrongful termination. Some examples are discrimination, violation of public policy, retaliation, contract breaches, fraud, or defamation.
Fraud

Discrimination
Some forms of discrimination that can have legal action include: your race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, pregnancy, or genetic information. If any of these are the reason for your termination, talk to David Whipple.
Violation of Public Policy
Were you fired for missing work due to jury duty, military duty, or using earned vacation time? These can be ground for a suit to take place. There are other examples of public policy, which David Whipple can help you understand. For it to be public policy, there must be a law that corresponds to your reasoning of termination.
Retaliation
Did your employee retaliate after you had done something legal? Did you file for sexual harassment, then get fired soon after? This is an example of an employer retaliating after you had taken some sort of legal action.
Employment Contract Breach
Has your contract been breached by your employer? Have you had an injury at work but your employer refuses to pay the medical bills? There can be many examples of different breaches in a contract, which may be due to a miscommunication between an employer and employee. A lot of the time there is just a misunderstanding of the contract. David Whipple can help you and your employer understand what your contract stated.
Defamation
