Wrongful
Discharge & Common-Law Tort Actions
Today,
plaintiffs' attorneys are being more and more creative. With the
willingness of courts to find exceptions to the traditional
employment-at-will doctrine, plaintiffs are suing employers for
wrongful discharge in a variety of situations. Worker's compensation
and jury service are but two examples of the growing number of
situations that can give rise to a wrongful-discharge or retaliation claim. In
addition, defamation, outrageous conduct, and privacy claims are becoming more common where employees have been discharged for serious
misconduct. Weintraub Stock is proud of its track record in helping
employers prevent such claims and in defending lawsuits in this area.
