Depending upon the laws in your state, it would be well worth your while to consult with a wrongful termination lawyer, who will be able to explain your rights and whether or not you may have a cause of action for a lawsuit.
Wrongful termination lawyers can answer your questions regarding whether your termination was- illegal because it was discriminatory, whether or not your employer followed the appropriate procedure when they fired you, and whether or not you may be entitled to any severance pay.
Damages which may be available to you if you prevail in a wrongful termination lawsuit may include back pay, promotion, reinstatement, compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. Because of the number of legal (and illegal) reasons that an employer may have to discharge an employee, it is definitely a good idea to schedule a consultation (many times for no charge) with a wrongful termination lawyer.
