FAQ
Filing a Disability Discrimination Case When you sue for disability discrimination in Maryland, you need to "administratively exhaust" your claim. This means that you need to file an administrative complaint of disability discrimination before you can file a lawsuit in state or federal court.
To win a wrongful termination case in Maryland, you need to prove three things: Your employer terminated you. Your termination violated Maryland public policy. A connection exists between your termination and the public policy.
Key grounds for summary dismissal: ReasonExample Theft Stealing company property Gross insubordination Ignoring direct orders repeatedly Violence Fighting or assaulting coworkers Alcohol/drug abuse at work or affecting performance
Common Grounds for Wrongful Termination Claims Breach of employment contract or company policy. Taking legally protected time off. Refusal to perform illegal acts. Violations of public policy.
Your employer cannot fire you for taking protected FMLA leave or retaliate against you for requesting it.
Key Elements of Wrongful Discharge: Employment Relationship: - The individual must have been an employee, not an independent contractor. Termination: - The employer must have ended the employment relationship. Unlawful Reason: - The termination must violate a specific law, contract term, or public policy. Damages:
If your termination violates state or federal employment laws, it may be deemed wrongful. Common reasons for wrongful termination include discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.
Maryland is an at-will employment jurisdiction; therefore, in the absence of an express contract, agreement, or policy to the contrary, either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship with or without cause, and with or without notice.
