Wrongful Termination

In the U.S. there are many forms of employment and each has differing legal rights and remedies. Wrongful termination cases arise out of situations where the plaintiff is formally employed under a contract, collective bargaining agreement or other agreement. In such cases, both state and federal law provide certain rights to the employee. Among these are the right to remain employed according to the terms of the agreement they have signed, unless cause is shown for their firing. Thus, many wrongful termination cases turn on whether the employer had legal cause to fire an individual.
