FAQ
Average Retaliation Lawsuit Settlements SeverityAverage Settlement Amount Low Between $5,000 and $25,000 Medium Between $25,000 and $50,000 High Between $50,000 and $100,000
The statute of limitations varies. For wrongful termination premised on a breach of contract, it's generally five years in Florida. Other wrongful termination claims may have shorter limitations, generally between two and four years.
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.
In many cases, you will need to show a lack of any other explanation. For example, if an employee has no negative performance reviews but receives one immediately after filing a complaint, they have a strong case for a retaliation lawsuit.
You have 3 years from the date of the termination to file an administrative complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD, formerly called DFEH for Department of Fair Employment and Housing).
While “wrongful termination” is not broadly recognized under Florida law, certain types of termination are legally actionable if they breach employment laws or agreements.
These occur when an employee is fired in violation of contractual terms, public policy, or anti-discrimination laws. The average settlement for a wrongful termination employment lawsuit often ranges from $5,000 to over $100,000.
Time Limits for Filing a Claim Under federal law, employees generally have 180 days from the date of termination to file a complaint with the EEOC. Florida law may extend this period to 300 days, depending on the circumstances. Failing to meet these deadlines could prevent you from pursuing a claim.
