What Is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination refers to any illegal firing, as defined by Colorado and federal law. Employers are not allowed to fire employees for the following reasons:

Discrimination based on gender, race, religion, sexuality, age, disability status, veteran status, or another protected characteristic
Retaliation for reporting instances of harassment or discrimination or whistleblowing on illegal practices

In response to filing a workers’ compensation claim
In violation of an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination
Due to taking approved leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or other applicable laws

What to Know About “At-Will” Employment

Colorado is an “at-will” employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees at any time for any reason, so long as it does not violate anti-discrimination laws, other legal protections, or contractual obligations.

This rule can make proving wrongful termination difficult. However, our team is up for the task. We possess an in-depth understanding of the nuances of state and federal employment/labor law and have successfully represented clients in numerous complex cases.

Filing a Wrongful Termination Claim in Colorado

To file a wrongful termination claim, you must first establish that your employer dismissed you for an unlawful reason. Evidence of this can include documentation of discriminatory remarks or actions, statements from witnesses, and other pertinent documents (i.e., employment contracts). Should you partner with Leventhal Swan Taylor Temming PC, our Colorado Springs or Denver wrongful termination attorneys can help you assemble these crucial pieces of evidence.

You must then file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD). In certain cases, you may also pursue litigation. Retaining an attorney to guide you through this stage and advocate for you can be advantageous.

Compensation for Wrongful Termination

If you win your case or reach a favorable settlement, you may receive damages to compensate for lost wages and benefits as well as emotional distress and other losses stemming from your termination. In addition to financial compensation, winning a wrongful termination case can bring justice and closure.
