But workers in Minnesota may be surprised to learn that there are not many situations in which you can sue an employer for negligence at the workplace that results in an injury. Instead, workplace negligence most frequently results in a workers' compensation claim.
Wrongful termination means an employer ends a worker's job in violation of employment law. This includes firings based on discrimination, retaliation, or breaches of contract. In Minnesota, employment is generally at-will, which allows employers to end employment for almost any reason.
