FAQ
In California, wrongful termination refers to the unlawful dismissal of an employee by their employer. It occurs when an employer fires a worker for reasons that violate state or federal laws. Common unlawful reasons include discrimination based on factors such as age, disability, or pregnancy.
Wrongful termination lawsuits can take over a year to resolve. Every case is different, however. If the employer is eager to settle out of court, the case can end in a matter of weeks. If either side is intent on going to trial, a wrongful termination claim could linger on for several years.

Wrongful termination cases can be difficult to win since the employee must provide evidence that their discharge was unlawful. Although assembling solid proof and hiring legal counsel improves the odds, employers frequently contend the dismissal was justified due to performance-related issues.
Wrongful termination in California can happen for illegal reasons like discrimination or retaliation. If you're fired unfairly, gathering evidence and seeking legal help is key to building a strong case. Settlements vary widely but could range from $5,000 to over $1 million based on your situation's specifics.
Precise statistics showing the win rates on wrongful termination cases each year compared to the overall number of wrongful termination lawsuits are hard to come by. Nevertheless, estimates range from as low as 30% of wrongful termination cases being successful to as high as 90% of cases succeeding.
Additionally, wrongful termination may arise from discrimination or retaliation. Nevada, like other states, has anti-discrimination laws in place to protect employees from being fired based on protected characteristics, such as race, gender, religion, disability, age, or national origin.
“The short answer is yes: In many to most circumstances, employees can be fired without notice,” says Sonya Smallets, an employment law attorney at Minnis & Smallets in San Francisco, California.
Notice of Termination: While not always legally required, it's a best practice for employers in Nevada to provide a written notice of termination or separation to the employee.
