Arlington Heights Wrongful Termination Attorney

Types of Wrongful Termination Claims We Take On in Arlington Heights

Illinois is an at-will state, which means an employer can let you go for almost any reason, but not for an illegal one. What looks like a routine layoff can turn out to be a firing the law flatly prohibits. Our job is to find the specific rule your employer broke, because pinning down that violation is what turns a bad situation into a recoverable claim.

Here are the kinds of cases we handle:

• Discriminatory firing — Title VII and the Illinois Human Rights Act bar employers from firing you because of your age, race, sex, color, religion, national origin, disability, or other protected trait. When one of those played a role, the termination is unlawful, not a reorganization.
• Payback for injury claims — You cannot be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim or asking for the safety protections the law guarantees. Punishing an employee for using those rights is a violation we see often.
• Whistleblower firings — Employees who report fraud or flag illegal company conduct to authorities are protected. An employer cannot fire you for being a whistleblower.
• Broken employment contracts — A written agreement may promise job security or spell out the steps required before dismissal. Companies that ignore those terms expose themselves to real liability.
• Cooperating with an investigation — Giving honest testimony in an audit or working with Department of Labor inspectors should never cost you your job. The law shields workers who take part in official reviews.

Proving an actual legal violation takes solid documentation, not just a sense that the firing was unfair. When a dismissal traces back to bias or retaliation, a wrongful termination lawyer in Arlington Heights can comb through company records and assemble a claim that holds up. Favaro & Gorman, Ltd. brings the courtroom experience it takes to hold an employer accountable and protect where your career goes next.
