    ⚠ Tell us about your termination! Did they offer you severance? Did you think that any laws were broken? Did you call a lawyer? The community here would love to hear about it! ⚠

      Me and another woman were fired from a large oil field company . I contacted multiple attorneys in DFW and they all wanted our case but some tried taking it as non contingency . I ruled those attorneys out and found a great one . We are almost a year in and barely getting back answers from interrogatories and soon hopefully depositions. Our case is pretty huge . We were not only retaliated against. We were being sexually harassed physically and emotionally by the CFO of company whom we worked side by side with for 1.5 years .I built the case because I recorded conversations and saved texts. The company fired us saying we conspired together to steal. I was never even questioned by the company but they fired us anyways. Our attorney is suing individuals as well as the company - also we will sue for defamation

    Man, I got hurt by my manager at mellow mushroom, and when I sought a lawyer they ignored me, eeoc too. I found help through my state department of labor that handled the situation and sent my complaints in. They fined the company, gave me unemployment, and got rid of the managers that physically assaulted me
    Lately it feels like lawyers don't want to help you either, even if they see it's an easy win, they still ignore people like me. This video didn't teach me much

      I agree. Lawyers can be lazy. It's not that they don't want to help you. They don't see a big enough profit. So even if you have a case, if it isn't worth pursuing they won't reach back out.

    • @Milesco
      @Milesco ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@debreonn.5097 It must be noted that taking a case on a contingency fee basis is a *huge* risk for the lawyer. The case will take a lot of work and will consume an enormous amount of the lawyer's time, it will incur significant out-of-pocket costs that the lawyer will have to pay for up front, and at the end of it all, the lawyer may end up getting little or nothing.
      Winning cases is difficult, and you can never predict -- especially at the outset -- what the results will be.
      For these reasons, contingency fee lawers have to be very picky about the cases they take on.

      Or sometimes the attorney’s feel intimidated going a company with more resources. I do understand and this is the reason to make sure you gather all your documents. You are your best defense anyway - you know your case better than the attorney you might hire. Therefore, you work that case and don’t let the attorney do so. They know the law. Unfortunately, you need the law behind you.

    Sometimes is not about money is about not be available to get another job can't used this employer as a references and you work there for 15 years. Not available to get a job will impact your family members really bad, emotionally and financially too. Employer lawyers what they do is make this case take years if is necessary, this will make really hard to get a lawyer and legal help. This why save any text messages any proof and document. Share this on social media God will put the right people to help you to move on and keep moving forward.

Yes, the money if I win would help in many ways but my reputation is what truly matters!!

    I was hired at a job that knew I would need accommodations, permanently:I have cerebral palsy, and I can not stand up for too long.
    They seemed very understanding, but they told me I could not work until I got the accommodation Assessment filled out by my doctor, stating that everything would be fine. Once I got it all done, I received an email saying that "they could not accommodate what I require"and I was fired. I really feel like this is extremely wrong, and I want to take it to court.

    I was wrongfully terminated recently after catching Covid I was through a temp agency. I’ve worked with the temp agency as well as my employer to let them know I am out due to catching Covid; and I was informed to take ten day quarantine and return to work with a negative Covid test. The ninth day of my 10 quarantine my employer fired me due to not following the call out procedure for the days I was out of work. I know I’m protected by various workers rights as well as OSHA and potentially the ADA. I am very distraught it has not only affected me but my gf as well. I’m meeting with a lawyer tomorrow since I have lost everything. I’m losing my appartment I’m behind on bills. And it’s been so stressful for both me and my gf.

You can file a complaint with your state's Human Rights Office. You should also look into filing a complaint with the U.S. Dept. of Justice, if you are in a protected class under the Civil Rights Act. Its a shame how we the People are being Covid crisis abused daily by companies, doctors, employers all done in the name of Covid. They need to pass a law for Covid abuse of authority. Good Luck!

I was denied again.and told me to come back with a doctors letter as I did and he ignored the light duty status and had me Jackhammer two driveway and dig down four feet through hard pan soil every Monday for several weeks. I then felt the tear again and reported my condition again. He then told me to take time off untill I come back with a doctors note.as my testicals were swollen to the side of softballs I wasnt comming back untill I had a sergery as I couldn't sit any longer. I had hired a work comp. Atterney the state fund sent me to a medical clinic to be examined. And then found the private employer did not have insurance. After 9 more months I was told o was going to sergery .in the near future and until then the boss mailed me a letter said I would be fired if I didnt come back with a doctors letter in the next two weeks. I sent this discrimination to my atterney. .and Carl was warned.i I was out of work for nine months without a new y income my senior citizen lover was stressing out as I was due to the hardship for loosing my job, then my truck was stolen, my roommate being bi polar 1 then told me to leave her Mobil home as she also stolen my clothes a d tools backed by a restraining order to protect her of her own crimes. So the mental stress is just gotten heavier as I was out in the cold Jan 1st in 30 degrres.i was so cold I couldn't sit to sleep as I called my lawer a d said If I seud this company for a million dallars it wouldn't be enough for what there putting me through.i then had sergery and 8 weeks recovery and 5 doctors notes mailed for my return to my job it was now twelve weeks as they figured they had to give my job back to get me off the insurance payroll and then fired me 5 times in a six week period as I asked about my senority and job I had as he fired me for that. He stalked me, threatened to fire me daily,slander,harrassedme. Trying to get me to quit but fired me for using the rest room. That was the last day I worked. I was denied unemployment as I had 4.5 years here. I had wrote the owner of this and he said the manage ment does not intend to bring me back as the manager resigned. It's now 15 months and the insurance co wants to end this ledigation with 5 grand and I wasted 6 months waiting on fair housing & unemployment. Just to tell me it's out of there jurastiction.

    Sir, I did have an important question. What happens if I get fired for retaliation, but my manager refuses to tell me why I was fired or if I am even fired at all? In other words, I was working in California and I asked for accommodation with my disability via email, which my manager never responded to. But, out of nowhere, one week later when I was at work, my manager went up to my desk and said I was no longer an employee of the company and gave me my final check. I asked why, and he told me I was laid off but did not explain why. But, when I asked for some kind of written notice via email or in person that confirmed my termination, he just denied giving me that and insisted that I leave the site and not come back. What do I do in this case?
    The CA law states that employers are required to give you a written notice if they fire or lay you off, but he did not do that. What can I do if he does not give me one? Can he get in trouble for not giving me one? Should I have refused to leave until he gave me a termination notice?

I told him repeatedly to leave me alone and if he felt some way you could've said it when we was in the elevator. After the incident they did investigation I was terminated from job the reason was I had curse at the lead.... I'm not getting no unemployment I have a appeal hearing Tuesday and I know they going to try to use old writes so I won't get no benefits. I got hurt on the job and I was denied workers comp i didn't fight them back. I dealt with knee injury on my own. I kept going to my doctor's appointment. My Dr told me I might have to go on FMLA I was denied that too. I been working for them for 2 years and 6 months..

    Good evening Brannigan. I have been watching your videos religiously since a co worker of mine told me about you. They are amazing, so informative, and incredibly helpful. Thank you for doing this!!! I need to file a wrongful termination lawsuit and one of your main points was to find a really good lawyer. Any advice for how to do that? I live in Texas.
    I reported sexual harassment to my manager multiple times and nothing was done. Then during the subsequent HR investigation they found all these issues to write me up for. Just like you said. Now, over the last 2 years, they wrote me up for the smallest offenses that where occurring everywhere else in our workplace. They finally wrote me up and fired me for a complete lie. I even have a witness to the event and they didn’t care. It was also such a small thing that even if I did do it, I don’t think anyone has ever been fired for failing to talk good about another employees skills. Still- I did not do what they said at all.
    My family is going to lose our house, etc. because we cannot pay our bills without my job. I am under extreme emotional distress.
    How do I find a excellent lawyer in Texas? Thank you in advance.

    We are in the middle of a lawsuit now, getting ready to start mediation but i feel the lawyer is wanting to shoot too low. Husband was 62, fired for the reason of reduction in force, but advertised his job a week later and replaced him! What the heck? How much is this case worth? They absolutely fired him because they did not want to pay him his commission. I feel like since it can be easily proven that his job was advertised and they do have a representative that does what he used to do. This ought to be an easy case to win. Should it go to court. I would love for it to be settled in mediation, but I believe he deserves a bigger payout than $85,000-$100,000 which our attorney said is the bottom line goal. It’s true. He found a job two months later and he is making the same money, but I feel at this point we should be going after 2 1/2 years of lost wages, and benefitsback owed commissions, attorney fees, punitive damage, etc.

      No, usually people hire a lawyer first. When I take cases that require a right-to-sue from the DFEH or EEOC, I usually contact the agency on my client's behalf and fill out all the paperwork. But, if you can't find a lawyer, or your statute of limitations is coming up, then it is fine for people to go to EEOC or DFEH first. Either way satisfies the legal requirement, I just prefer that a lawyer contact the agency rather than the client so the claims on the right-to-sue are correct. Lots of people screw up their right to sue letter.

    I believe I was passed over for a raise, and eventually targeted by management at my job because of my disability. After hurting my back doing work I shouldn't have been doing I started saying no to work that wasn't my job to do. When raises were given, I wasn't given one, after months of asking, then I was targeted by management in front of my peers to trigger me, so they can fire me. When I finally was bothered enough by the comments, touching, and being publicly put on display in front of my peers, I became mad and shouted at the manager. They told me to leave and fired me the next morning. I have combat related PTSD, anxiety, depression and arthritis in my spine. I told glen, the operations manager, during my job interview, 8 months ago. I told the owner, sammy, after that, and told him I didn't like that treatment.

Negotiations are not something that are predictable enough where someone can say "the value doubles if you've also got retaliation." There are so many variables that change all the time it's really impossible to say.
