Firing a Person Due to Their Age is Not Lawful: Learn What to Do If You Have Been the Victim of Age Discrimination

Are you forty or older? Do you believe age discrimination played a part in your layoff or termination? You are covered under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act as long as your former employer has at least five workers. As a result, you have the option to file a wrongful termination lawsuit against your former employer.

Keep reading to learn more and then contact PLBH at (800) 435-7542 if you require a legal consultation with an employment law attorney.

You can obtain many benefits if you win your case

If you win your age discrimination case you could get your job back, receive compensation for a loss of perks and salary, receive payment of your legal expenses, and a financial penalty could be imposed on the business as retaliation for age discrimination.

You can rely on us to work tirelessly to develop a solid claim and get a favorable settlement to your case since our skilled attorneys are conversant with the law on age discrimination and wrongful termination.

How to establish age discrimination as the basis for wrongful termination

It is vital to meticulously record the facts of your termination in order to demonstrate that you were unfairly fired due to your age. You’ll need to request in writing the details of your termination, get a copy of your whole employee personnel file, record significant occurrences such hiring and dismissal, promotions and demotions, wage increases and decreases, discriminatory words or acts, performance evaluations, and disciplinary actions.

If possible, obtain testimony from others who may have seen instances of age discrimination or are aware of discriminatory practices at your place of employment. You have a great probability of winning your case if you can demonstrate that your company fired you due to bias towards older workers or as a result of an apparently neutral policy that disproportionately targeted older workers.

Options for getting your case resolved

Going through an arbitration or mediation procedure is typically the initial step in obtaining damages for wrongful termination based on age discrimination.
