Nevertheless, estimates range from as low as 30% of wrongful termination cases being successful to as high as 90% of cases succeeding.

When you have a lawyer for a wrongful termination case the likelihood of receiving compensation is 64% and the likelihood of receiving compensation without a lawyer is 30%.

Although employers may legally let employees go from their jobs for no reason (when employment is “at will”), it is against federal and state laws to fire someone because of their race, ethnicity, country of origin, gender or sexual orientation, age and/or disability.

Wrongful termination cases can be difficult to win since the employee must provide evidence that their discharge was unlawful. Although assembling solid proof and hiring legal counsel improves the odds, employers frequently contend the dismissal was justified due to performance-related issues.

You may be able to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the New York State Division of Human Rights (NYSDHR), depending on the nature of the wrongful termination. Both agencies can investigate discrimination or retaliation claims and take legal action against employers.
