Sedaghat Law Group has a team of legal experts who can navigate California public policy and the fine print in your contractual agreement with your employer. Businesses have to adhere to these standards and regulations, and some of the common reasons for wrongful termination include:

• The Legal Use of Benefits & Protected Absences: Employees are allowed time away from work for medical emergencies, family emergencies, maternity/paternity leave, and even jury duty. Employers may not fire employees on this basis, even if they are on at-will employment.
• Discrimination: Discrimination comes in all forms. Whether you’re discriminated on the basis of race/ethnicity, religion, gender, sex, sexuality, age, etc., your employer (and even fellow employees) have the responsibility to respect your working rights surrounding your personal identity. As a woman-led business, we understand that it’s easy to shrug off and try to forget, but taking action is the best course to a safer workspace.
• Retaliation: One of the more vitriolic reasons behind a firing is a vengeful employer. Employees cannot be terminated for whistle-blowing or making good-faith reports. We believe that you deserve a safe space in your workplace, and we can help you stand up to retaliatory actions such as these.

If you have been fired for one of these reasons, reach out to us immediately for a free consultation. We’ll evaluate your case and help you on the path to justice.

With your case, Sedaghat Law Group will ensure its best work to get you proper justice. Some common restitutions from wrongful termination cases include:

• Lost Wages: Wages, salary days, or even bonuses that you lost from your termination can be recovered after judgment in your favor in the legal process.
• Lost Benefits: If your job had benefits, any expenses incurred within the realm of those benefits after the unlawful termination can be recovered for you.
• Reinstatement: Proper reinstatement to the position is possible after the wrongful termination if you would like to continue working there.
• Career Damages: When you are fired, the resulting termination impacts your resume and the upward momentum of your career negatively, and there are grounds for compensation.
• Emotional and Psychological Distress: Being fired from a job can be disruptive and lead to a decline in mental health. While this stress seems normal, experiencing high amounts of it after a wrongful termination could lead to compensation.

This comprehensive list is a few things to consider when looking at your wrongful termination case. We know these things can greatly affect your life, so reach out to us sooner than later.
