Wrongful Termination

 

We at Seattle Litigation Group will work to obtain compensation for your job loss. 

Were you fired for doing the right thing at work?  Did you raise issues of pay or working conditions for yourself and your co-workers?  Were you taking a stand regarding illegal or unethical conduct by your employer?  And did this result in your otherwise unjustifiable termination?  If so, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.  

In Washington, employment generally may be terminated by either the employer or the employee at any time, with or without cause.  There are two main exceptions to this termination-at-will employment relationship.  One is if the termination violates public policy. The wrongful discharge in violation of public policy is a tort constituting a narrow exception to at-will employment.  You must prove that the public-policy-linked conduct caused the dismissal and your employer must not be able to offer an overriding justification for the dismissal.  Alternatively, an employer cannot fire you for raising issues regarding the terms and conditions of employment for your self and others in the workplace.
