What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination refers to the unlawful or unjustifiable termination of an employee's employment by their employer. It occurs when an employee is fired, violates their legal rights, or breaches their employment contract. Wrongful termination can take various forms and may involve federal, state, or local employment law violations.

Wrongful Termination Cases We Handle

At Nichols Kaster PLLP, we handle a wide range of wrongful termination cases, including but not limited to:

• Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, workplace harassment, discrimination, or exercising your rights under employment laws, we can assist you in seeking justice.
• Whistleblower Protection: If you were terminated for blowing the whistle on your employer's unlawful practices, fraud, or violations of public policy, we can help you understand your rights and fight back against retaliation.
• Breach of Employment Contract: If your termination violates the terms of your employment contract or agreement, our attorneys can help you hold your employer accountable for their breach.

Proving Wrongful Termination in Minnesota

Proving wrongful termination requires gathering evidence and building a solid case to demonstrate that your termination was unlawful or unjustified. While the specific evidence needed can vary depending on the circumstances of your case and applicable laws, proving wrongful termination may include the following steps:

1. Document the Details: Collect and organize any documents related to your employment, such as employment contracts, offer letters, company policies, performance evaluations, emails, memos, or any other written communication that may be relevant to your case. These documents can help establish the terms of your employment, your job performance, and any incidents leading up to your termination.
2. Identify Employment Law Violations: Research and familiarize yourself with the relevant employment laws and regulations that apply to your situation. This could include federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or state and local laws that provide additional protections. Determine if your termination violates any of these laws, such as discrimination, retaliation, or breach of contract.
3. Gather Witness Testimony: Identify any witnesses who have knowledge of the events leading to your termination or have witnessed discriminatory or retaliatory actions by your employer. These witnesses can provide testimony to support your claims and strengthen your case. Keep track of their contact information and statements.
4. Maintain a Record of Incidents: Create a timeline of events leading up to your termination, including any discriminatory or retaliatory actions, complaints you made, or incidents that may have contributed to your termination. Note the date, time, location, and individuals involved in each incident. This chronology can help demonstrate a pattern of behavior and establish a causal connection between the events and your termination.
5. Request Relevant Documents: If there are specific documents that could support your case, such as internal company policies, investigation reports, or records of other employees' treatment in similar situations, consider submitting a formal request to your employer or obtaining them through legal channels. These documents can provide valuable evidence of discriminatory practices or inconsistencies in the treatment of employees.
6. Obtain Expert Opinions: In some cases, it may be necessary to consult experts who can provide professional opinions or analyses supporting your claims. For example, if you believe you were terminated due to a disability, seeking a medical expert's evaluation of your condition and its impact on your ability to perform your job can be beneficial.
7. Consult with an Employment Law Attorney: It is highly advisable to seek the guidance of an experienced employment law attorney specializing in wrongful termination cases. They can evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your case, help you understand your rights, navigate the legal process, and represent your interests.
