Unlawful Termination

Unlawful termination, also known as wrongful dismissal, occurs when an employee has been terminated under circumstances that violate an employment law. Just because you work in an “at-will” state doesn’t mean that employers can fire you for any reason. In fact, there are several circumstances where a case can be made for wrongful termination like:

Discrimination against a protected class

Retaliation for reporting a civil rights violation

Termination to deprive employee of earned benefits

Breach of express or implied contract requiring “good cause”

Constructive discharge or creating a hostile work environment

Violation of public policy expressed in the Kentucky Revised Statutes or the Kentucky Constitution

Unlawful termination can be devastating for an individual, but McCarty Legal is here to help you right that wrong.
