Wrongful Termination Attorney in Indiana

Because Indiana is an at-will state, most dismissals (even unwarranted ones) don’t violate any laws. Those that do usually break federal laws, not state ones. Here are some examples:

• Discrimination: Many of the U.S.’s labor and employment laws protect employees on the basis of their age, sex, disability, ethnicity, religion, country of origin, parental status, and other protected characteristics. Layoffs that occur because of discrimination against one or more of these traits may qualify as wrongful termination.
• Retaliation: Retaliation occurs when an employer fires an employee for blowing the whistle on illegal conduct, complaining to Human Resources about unethical or unprofessional behavior, or filing a workers’ compensation claim. If an employee is fired for one of these actions, they may have a wrongful termination case.
• Breach of Contract: In Indiana, if an employee has a written or oral contract guaranteeing employment for a certain amount of time, and their employer violates that contract, the employee may be able to file a lawsuit.
