What Constitutes Wrongful Termination in Jupiter?
Florida is an at-will employment state, meaning employers generally can terminate employees without providing a specific reason. However, this does not permit terminations based on illegal grounds. A wrongful termination claim may arise if you were fired due to:
- Discrimination based on race, age, gender, religion, national origin, disability, pregnancy, or sexual orientation
- Retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting workplace violations
- Exercising legal rights, such as filing a workers’ compensation claim or taking medical leave (FMLA)
- Breach of an employment contract
If any of these circumstances apply to your dismissal, our wrongful termination lawyers in Jupiter can assist you in pursuing your legal options.
