Fighting Wrongful Termination
State and federal law protects employees from discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, disability and status as members of the armed forces of the United States. Employment laws also guarantee leave from employment for certain family and medical events and for some military service. If you are a victim of wrongful termination, we can help.
The lawyers at Previant, Goldberg, Uelmen, Gratz, Miller & Brueggeman, S.C., have pursued employment claims on behalf of employees in a wide variety of forums, including the state and federal courts, for nearly 100 years. We are one of Wisconsin's most trusted law firms. Contact us today for a free initial consultation.
Our firm works hard to protect the rights of workers. We provide assertive representation when company employees are fired because of discrimination or extended medical leaves. We know the laws and will fight on your behalf for employment claims in the following areas:
Disability Discrimination: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a person cannot be fired due to having a disability. In addition, the employer must make reasonable accommodations for the disabled person.
Age Discrimination: The Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects people over the age of 40 from being fired or refused for a position based on age alone.
Race/Gender discrimination: Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employer cannot discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. We will file a claim on your behalf if you feel you were fired or refused employment for any of these reasons.
Family and medical leave: Both the State of Wisconsin and the federal government have acts allowing an individual extended leave from employment to care for a new child, an ailing family member or personal sickness. An employee is entitled to his or her same position upon return.
Veterans' re-employment rights: Under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, you are entitled to your same position and benefits after fulfilling your military obligations. If you are a veteran and your employer did not grant your job back or refused to give you the same benefits or salary, contact Previant, Goldberg, Uelmen, Gratz, Miller & Brueggeman, S.C.
