Los Angeles Tortious Termination Attorney
Tortious is a legal term that is used to describe a wrongdoing or a wrongful act that violates a person's civil rights. Tortious termination is a term that is used when a person has been wrongfully or illegally fired from his/her place of employment. Tortious termination can occur for a variety of reasons, but commonly occurs when an employer:
- discharges a whistle-blower (an employee fired for complaining that another employee or employees violated a law or laws;
- discriminates against an employee due to the employee's gender, ethnicity, age, religion, sexual orientation, political views, or disabilities;
- discharges an employee who is filing a worker's compensation claim;
- discharges an employee who is involved in a lawsuit against the company;
- discharges an employee to avoid paying the employee higher wages, a bonus, or retirement benefits.
Anytime a person's employment has been tortiously terminated, the person reserves the right to take legal action against his/her employer, which may lead to the recovery of damages for the person's pain and suffering and lost income.
