Wrongful Termination Lawyer Santa Ana
While terminations of employment affect terminated workers at all levels of pay, workers who are at the poverty level and who are terminated are at a high risk. For a single person, the poverty rate was $11,720 a year in earnings for 2012. For a family of four, the poverty rate was $23,283 during 2012. The number of people living in poverty stands at 46.5 million, or 15% of the country’s population.
Experienced Employment Lawyer in Wrongful Termination
Low wage workers who are unjustly terminated, without warning, are not likely to have savings. Nor are wrongfully terminated workers, near poverty, likely to own a home without a mortgage. If their employer contests their unemployment insurance claim, the low wage worker without savings may have their electricity turned off when they cannot pay their electricity bill. An experienced employment lawyer like myself will know how to explain to a jury how having one’s electricity turned off, and facing actual or potential eviction, causes severe emotional distress. Emotional distress is an important item of damage in a lawsuit involving job termination.
