Understand Wrongful Termination and Your Rights
After losing your job, you may be angry at your employer and want to pursue litigation against the company for wrongful termination. Before filing a claim, however, it is important to understand what wrongful termination is, and most importantly, what wrongful termination is not.
Because Pennsylvania is an "at will employment" state, a company can fire you from a job for any reason, or for no reason, without any repercussions. There are exceptions to this, however, including cases where employment discrimination is involved or where the termination is retaliation against a whistleblower.

The Advice You Need and the Respect You Deserve
Although the legal term "wrongful termination" does not account for every case of termination that occurs, it can describe certain types of termination that violate Pennsylvania state and federal laws. Wrongful termination can occur as the result of:
- Discrimination based on attributes such as religion, race, gender and others
- Questioning, exposing or reporting illegal activities that have occurred at your company
- Defamation or fraud
- Retaliation for filing a workers' comp claim, reporting harassment or other activities within the company
- Hostile workplaces or environments
It is important to know that with any type of lawsuit or litigation, the process can be long, expensive and emotionally draining. The Oliver Law Firm will support your decision if you choose to move forward with your case and will always provide a high level of service. Attorney Ken Oliver can also help you think through what is ultimately in your best interest. He will listen closely and provide honest advice about your case.
