McAllen Wrongful Termination Lawyer

Most Texas wrongful termination cases fall into two broad categories. The first category covers cases in which an employee is fired for discriminatory reasons. For information on the Pruneda Law Firm’s, P.L.L.C. experience with this category of case, see the Discrimination tab. Retaliation cases make up the second category.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (E.E.O.C.) provides a list of common wrongful termination claims. These include retaliation for refusing to participate in unlawful activities, for whistleblowing, for reporting sexual harassment, for participating in an investigation against the company, for reporting discrimination, for participating in a discrimination proceeding, for reporting wage or overtime violations, and for firing an employee to retaliate against someone close to that employee. This, however, is not an exhaustive list. If you feel you have been wrongfully fired, come in for a consultation to help us determine whether your case fits one of these categories or if we can help in another way.

There are other varieties of wrongful termination as well. Even termination that doesn’t strictly adhere to policies outlined in an employee or company handbook can be grounds for a wrongful termination case. The important thing as an employee is to be educated about your rights and recourse in the court system.
