Описание: Miami Wrongful Termination Lawyer by BT Law Group

If you have been fired from your job in Miami, Florida, you may be unsure whether your employer acted legally. Florida is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can terminate employment for almost any reason. However, Florida employment law and federal law provide important protections that prevent unlawful termination and illegal termination.

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for an illegal reason. This may include employment discrimination based on protected categories such as race discrimination, national origin discrimination, sex discrimination, gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, religious discrimination, age discrimination, or disability discrimination. Laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Florida Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit discrimination in hiring, firing, promotion, pay, and other terms of employment.

Unlawful retaliation is another common basis for a wrongful termination claim. Retaliation happens when an employer takes adverse action because an employee engaged in protected activity. Examples include filing a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), filing with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR), reporting workplace harassment or sexual harassment, requesting medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), or whistleblowing under the Florida Whistleblower Act.

Wrongful termination cases in Miami-Dade County may be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida or the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. Employees often must first go through the EEOC or FCHR process before receiving a Right to Sue letter. Strict filing deadlines apply, including the 300 days EEOC deadline and the 365 days FCHR deadline.

Some cases also involve breach of employment contract. While many workers are at will, certain contracts require just cause termination or specific termination procedures. Violations may allow recovery through a breach of contract claim.

Damages in wrongful termination cases may include back pay, front pay, lost benefits, lost wages, compensatory damages, and emotional distress. Strong evidence such as performance reviews, termination letters, and circumstantial evidence of discriminatory conduct or retaliatory conduct can help prove your case.
