Wrongful Termination Attorneys

in Denver and Aurora, Colorado

Sometimes people are terminated from their place of employment because they are genuinely not qualified for the job or are grossly incompetent at performing the required duties. Being fired for those reasons is not illegal. In Colorado, Employment at-will is a general rule and concept, which generally means that either the employer or the employee can terminate the employment relationship with or without cause or reason. However, numerous exceptions to the at-will concept exist whereby the employer is subject to suit if an employee is terminated, even if the employer tries to hide under the at-will umbrella.

When firing is illegal

There are numerous circumstances when a terminated employee can seek compensation under the law as a result of a wrongful termination. These include but are not limited to:

• If an employer has policies or procedures in place, such as a mandatory progressive disciplinary process, and an employee is terminated in violation of the policy, depending upon the circumstances, the employee may be able to successfully seek a recovery
• It's illegal to fire someone based on their age, race, gender, or any other lawfully "protected characteristics."
• There are numerous other circumstances where the circumstances surrounding a termination may entitle an employee to seek compensation

Obviously, very few, if any employers, will admit that an employee was fired because of their protected characteristics or otherwise wrongfully terminated. That's why proving wrongful termination claims can be very difficult. It's also why you need an experienced wrongful termination attorney to gather information and speak for you.
