HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER WHAT HAPPENED AT WORK IS WORTH SUING FOR?
And then the next piece of evidence... The restaurant is as dead as the above picture shows. How is it they couldn't get the food out in 1 hour? The waitress claims the kitchen did not like her. This new bend is either a conspiracy theory, or countervailing facts that have nothing to do with retaliation. As can be seen, there can be multiple pieces of conflicting evidence that has to be interpreted. This is why case results are uncertain and only a fool attorney tells their client exactly what the case outcome will be after merely speaking to the client.
EMPLOYEE DISCRIMINATION LAW FIRM
Discrimination means something in employment law if an employee is fired due to a protected characteristic. Protected characteristics motivating an illegal wrongful termination include ancestry, age, cancer, disability, FMLA, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sexual identification and orientation. Sexual harassment is also a form of employment discrimination on the basis it is often gender discrimination. If these issues were substantial motivating factors in a job termination there may a case for wrongful termination, and a violation of California employment discrimination laws. Figuring out if any of these protected characteristics substantially motivated a decision to fire an employee is best left to an experienced employment discrimination attorney. Speculative theories, claims that run contrary to admissions the employee makes, improbabilities, and a lack of evidence do matter. Call (951) 367-1000 if you want a realistic legal opinion whether a case can be brought for employment discrimination. Nobody wants to lose a lawsuit.
In terms of which protected characteristics generate the best cases, the most, or the most provable, there has been a tendency in the Inland Empire to engage in religious discrimination and discrimination towards military obligations, and for employers to claim the failure to accommodate was unreasonable. Discrimination due to cancer, disability, FMLA, and pregnancy however are the cases most brought with the highest win rates. Sexual harassment is also a problem, but there seem to be fewer instances of sexual harassment than compared to other forms of employment discrimination. Cases against a particular minority group by another minority group do exist, and may involve making fun of the way a minority group celebrates a holiday.
