Are you looking for a lawyer to represent you in your wrongful termination lawsuit? If you were wrongfully terminated from your job — and you’re considering filing an employment law claim for damages — you’re probably wondering what to expect in your upcoming lawsuit.
Fortunately, when you retain a lawyer, he or she will educate you on the rules and regulations that apply to a wrongful termination suit. Let’s take a look at some of the most basic aspects of such a claim here:
— Warning that you’re going to file: Your first step in a wrongful termination suit is to send formal notice that you plan to file a suit.
— The possibility of early settlement: In some cases, a letter will be all that you require to settle your wrongful termination claims. If your ex-employer is willing to negotiate, you might be able to settle your claims out-of-court without submitting a lawsuit.
— Filing a lawsuit: When your employer refuses to settle, it’s time to move forward with your lawsuit. Your attorney will draft a legal document to file with the court, which begins your lawsuit. One of the best things about a court case is that you can have a jury decide your matter. A jury could be sympathetic to your situation, especially if your employer’s actions against you were particularly unjust
— You also might arbitrate your case: You may need to arbitrate your case depending on the employment contract you signed. Or, you may choose to arbitrate the matter because you prefer the speed and less-formal nature of arbitration.
Having a lawyer represent you in your employment lawsuit will help you immensely. Your employer will likely retain top-notch legal counsel to fight against your claims in court. This is not an area of the law that you want to venture into without experience and training.
