Unfairly losing a job can be a heavy financial and personal blow. While Pennsylvania is an at-will employment state, there are legal limits on the reasons employers may terminate employment. If you suspect your employer let you go for illegal or unethical reasons, turn to a wrongful termination lawyer at Weisberg Cummings, P.C. We can be your steadfast advocate, ready to listen and help you fight back if your employer has crossed the legal line.
When you have a strong wrongful termination case, you might be able to negotiate a settlement with your employer without going to court. A seasoned attorney can evaluate your employer’s settlement offer if they make one and help negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. The actual settlement amount can depend on the specific circumstances of your situation.
Wrongful termination can be challenging to establish, as the laws include many gray areas. Consulting experienced wrongful termination lawyers at Weisberg Cummings can help determine if your situation counts as wrongful termination. If you win your wrongful termination case, the court may award the following damages:
Back pay
If your case successfully goes to court and you win, you may be able to recover back wages owed to you before your termination date and while you were out of work.
Lost benefits
Lost earnings covered could include bonuses, raises or promotions, as well as health care coverage, vision and dental coverage and retirement savings.
Punitive damages and attorney fees
You could be eligible for damages related to emotional distress and suffering caused by a sudden, illegal firing. Depending on the type of claim, you may also be eligible to receive punitive damages if your employer’s actions are deemed willful or egregious. In some cases, the court might also order the employer to cover your attorney’s fees.
At Weisberg Cummings, our team brings more than 50 years of combined wrongful termination experience to every case.
Know that employment claims have strict deadlines. Depending on the specifics of your case, you may only have 180 days to file a complaint under state law, or up to 300 days for certain federal claims. In certain instances, claims may even need to be filed in as little as 30 days. It is important to act fast. Here’s what sets us apart:

We’re here to vindicate your experience and prove merit even in the most complex cases. If your employer gave a false reason for firing you, we will uncover the truth and challenge those made-up narratives.

Our goal is to turn your initial feelings of hopelessness into real progress. We can help you dismantle your employer’s defenses and advocate fiercely for your rights.
