Understanding The Damages People are normally being terminated for the wrong reasons, such as: ● Discrimination ● Retaliation ● Premature end of the contract ● Cut of wages ● Whistleblowing
There are several types of damages you can get compensated for: Lost pay Attorney’s fees Lost benefits Punitive damages Emotional distress
Lost Wages From the moment you were terminated for the wrong reasons, you started losing wages. Lost wages are considered based on the average wages that you were “supposed to receive” if still working. Normally, you will not be compensated for all of your lost wages (usually it is around 60 to 80 percent). But, getting anything is much better than getting nothing.
Losing Benefits Loss of pension or 401k plans Loss of medical Loss of dental insurance Loss of stock options Loss of profit sharing
Pain and Suffering It is not always a safe bet, but in some cases, you can ask the jury to award you damages for everything you have endured emotionally since the day you got terminated. If enough reasonable evidence is provided, you may just get these damages added to your total settlement. It never hurts to ask.
Attorney Fees In some cases, you may be awarded attorney’s fees. However, this is rarely the case as most attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. Consult with an attorney to learn more about it.
