Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired in violation of legal protections, such as discrimination laws, retaliation statutes, or contractual agreements.
Missouri law prohibits employers from terminating employees for illegal reasons, and victims may seek remedies including reinstatement, damages, or compensation.
The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful termination claim in Missouri varies depending on the legal grounds but typically ranges from 180 days to two years after the termination date.
It’s important to consult an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe and to preserve critical evidence.
Missouri is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can generally terminate employees for any reason or no reason at all, as long as it is not illegal.
Exceptions include terminations based on discrimination, retaliation, or violations of public policy, which can be challenged legally.
Damages may include lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages, and other compensation related to the wrongful termination.
The specific types and amounts depend on the nature of the case and Missouri laws applicable to your situation.
While it’s possible to file a claim on your own, having an attorney helps navigate complex legal issues, gather evidence, and advocate effectively on your behalf.
Legal representation often improves chances of a favorable outcome and ensures your rights are fully protected throughout the process.
Costs vary by case; many wrongful termination attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront cost and payment only if you win.
During a consultation, your attorney will discuss fee arrangements and ensure transparency about potential expenses.
