Workers who prevail in a wrongful termination claim often get awarded between $5,000 and $100,000 in compensation. However, each case is different. There is no single “average” wrongful termination. Numerous factors can change how much a particular case is worth.
Yes, you can sue for wrongful termination in Georgia, but there are specific, limited conditions under which you can do so. Because Georgia is an “at-will” employment state, employers are allowed to terminate employees for almost any reason.
However, some reasons for termination are not permitted under Texas and federal law. Wrongful termination is any termination that occurs when you are fired: Because of your race, religion, gender or gender preference, national origin, or other protected category.
You can sue an employer for firing you under false accusations if the termination violates your employment contract, discriminates against protected classes, or is considered retaliatory under labor laws.
These wrongful termination damages may include: Lost wages and benefits; Compensation for emotional distress, physical pain, and/or loss of professional reputation; Attorney's fees; and/or.
Employees in Michigan may also have a valid wrongful termination claim if they can prove their employer retaliated against them or breached their employment or union contract. Retaliation is another basis for wrongful termination. One example is retaliation due to whistleblowing.
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.
