Pittsburgh Employee Retaliation and Wrongful Termination Claims
Many people who call our law office feel that they were treated unfairly by their employer. However, just because an employer's actions are unfair doesn't mean you have a legal case. It takes an experienced attorney to identify and prove a legal cause of action in an employment dispute.
Joshua M. Bloom & Associates is a dedicated employee rights law firm. Our lawyers practice throughout Pittsburgh and the rest of Western Pennsylvania, representing employees who are victims of harassment, discrimination and other illegal actions by their employers.
If you have suffered any of the issues below, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case:
- Sexual harassment claims: Sexual harassment can take the form of quid pro quo (promising something or threatening to take something away) or a hostile work environment that continues despite your complaints.
- Discrimination claims: Discrimination is a degrading experience. In the workplace, it is also illegal.
- FMLA violations: Your employer cannot retaliate against you for taking family or medical leave, or deny your leave request if you are eligible.
- Whistleblower: If your employer has submitted fraudulent bills to the federal government, you may be able to receive financial compensation as a whistleblower.
- Retaliation: Your employer cannot retaliate against you for exercising your rights as an employee.
- Wrongful termination: Termination is illegal if it is based on your protected status, such as age, race, gender, disability, sexual orientation (some locations), religion or national origin.
Compensation in employment law cases can include back wages, lost benefits, job reinstatement in certain cases, lost future pay and benefits, emotional distress, and punitive damages in certain cases.
Different types of employment law cases have different deadlines to meet, or you could lose all of your rights. This is one of the reasons it is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
