Wrongful Discharge

Toledo, Ohio Wrongful Termination Lawsuits

Most wrongful termination victims don't need a road map to know why they were let go by their employer. You just know. Whatever the reason — be it a work-related injury, the refusal of a sexual advance, or raising safety issues and concerns with a supervisor — know that you did nothing wrong and be aware that there are laws on the books that protect you and allow you to seek justice.

Wrongful discharge is about anything BUT your skill and ability to perform your job at a satisfactory level. It's about retaliation and your employer's desire to protect their interests at your expense. Contact us to discuss your case with an experienced attorney.

At Lafferty, Gallagher & Scott, we have been fighting to protect employee rights in the Toledo area and throughout Ohio for nearly 35 years. In that time, we have seen many examples of wrongful termination and the "lay-off" or "performance issue" tactics employers use to disguise it. Fortunately, they have not yet figured out how to rewrite history.

What we mean is that because businesses have systems in place for doing just about everything they do — it is hard for them to justify deviations from those patterns. Wrongful termination usually involves a deviation from the normal way businesses fire or lay-off their employees. And while proving that an employer had any one specific invalid reason for terminating someone is difficult — identifying deviations from their standard practices can go a long way in support of a successful claim.

As your wrongful termination claim moves forward, our lawyers will keep the lines of communication open and keep you as involved in the case as you like. Major decisions regarding the case will always be yours to make. Whatever your decisions are, you can rest assured knowing that we will spare no effort or resource in seeking to resolve the matter fairly and efficiently.
