Connecticut Attorneys Recovering Compensation In Wrongful Termination Claims

Wrongful termination goes beyond losing a job. When you are wrongfully terminated, it may impact your employment record and your ability to find new work. If you are part of a work placement program for state services, you may no longer be eligible for housing and food support programs. These consequences are drastic.

As the term suggests, wrongful termination is illegal. You are entitled to compensation and other damages if it happens to you, and with over 80 years of combined experience, our lawyers at the Law Offices of Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLC, can help you. Damages can include money lost because you are no longer working, emotional and mental damages and punitive damages. 

When Is A Termination Wrongful?

Connecticut is an at-will employment state. This means that your employer can fire you at any time unless the law prohibits it. The most common violation of rights is discrimination-based termination.

You have protection from discrimination based on age, color, race, sex, sexual orientation and more. These groups are often referred to as “protected classes.”

Illegal termination includes if:

• You are being fired for filing workplace harassment or discrimination suits.
• Your employer is retaliating for a workers’ compensation claim.
• You are taking time off work for parental or medical leave, as specified in the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

If you believe any of these factors are involved in your termination, call the Law Offices of Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLC. Our attorneys will review your case details and help determine if a wrongful termination suit is appropriate.
