Past Settlements and Verdicts

If you are thinking about filing a lawsuit after you were wrongfully terminated, you likely want to know the average value of a wrongful termination lawsuit.

Although your case is not guaranteed to result in the amounts listed below, reviewing past settlements and verdicts can give you a general idea of the value of a wrongful termination case.

You must contact California Labor Law Employment Attorneys Group as soon as possible to get the information you need before you file your lawsuit.

What Compensation is Available for Wrongful Termination Cases?

If you are considering filing a lawsuit after you were wrongfully terminated, you might be wondering about the compensation that you might be eligible to receive. The compensation you might be eligible to receive will depend on the specific details of your case. Below, there are a few types of the compensation you might be eligible to receive:

  • Lost wages – if you were wrongfully terminated, you might be eligible to receive compensation for the wages you lost because of the termination. The compensation you receive for lost wages might be split into two categories – back pay and front pay. Back pay is the pay you lost from the moment you got wrongfully fired until the moment of the trial. Front pay covers the pay being lost from the moment of the trial until the plaintiff either is reinstated to his or her previous position or finds another job.
  • Lost benefits – many employees have benefits through their employer. If the employee is terminated, the employee might have had to cover the costs of the benefits him or herself. If the plaintiff receives compensation for lost benefits, the out-of-pocket expenses to cover the benefits will be returned.
  • Emotional distress – some people suffer from anxiety, depression, or other emotional or mental afflictions because of the wrongful termination.
  • Punitive damages – punitive damages are designed to punish the defendant and ensure that the defendant will not have the same issue with another individual. If you were wrongfully terminated based on a protected status, like sex, race, or medical condition, your employer violated the law. If your employer violated employment laws, you might be awarded punitive damages.

You are not guaranteed to receive all of the compensation listed above. The type of compensation you receive will depend on the specific details of your case. Because of this, it is essential to speak with a wrongful termination attorney at California Labor Law Employment Attorneys Group as soon as possible.
