What Are My Rights If I’m Wrongfully Terminated?

Losing a job is stressful enough without the added burden of suspecting it was illegal. While Indiana is an “at-will” employment state, meaning employers can generally fire employees for any reason or no reason, there are critical exceptions. You cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin. Additionally, you cannot be terminated in retaliation for reporting illegal activities (whistleblowing) or for exercising your rights, such as filing a worker’s compensation claim or taking FMLA leave.

If you believe your termination violated these protections, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit. Our attorneys will conduct an evaluation of your case, reviewing your employment history, performance reviews, and the circumstances surrounding your dismissal to determine the best legal strategy for reinstatement or compensation.

How Do I Handle Workplace Discrimination?

Discrimination takes many forms, ranging from subtle bias in promotion decisions to overt harassment. If you are experiencing disparate treatment because of a protected characteristic, it is crucial to take specific steps to protect your claim.

1. Document Everything: Keep a detailed record of any incidents, including dates, times, witnesses, and exactly what was said or done.
2. Report Internally: Follow your company’s handbook to report the behavior to HR or management in writing. This creates an official record.
3. Preserve Evidence: Save emails, texts, and performance reviews that support your claim.

Navigating the reporting process can be intimidating. At Curlin & Clay Law, we guide you through these steps, ensuring you meet all necessary requirements for filing complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state agencies. We act as your legal ally, helping you build a strong case to hold your employer accountable.
