Wrongful Termination Claims in Hawaii

You could potentially have a legal case even if you resigned from your job. In some cases, employees quit voluntarily because they face a toxic work environment. If you left your job due to discrimination, sexual harassment, verbal abuse, or another unlawful condition, you could qualify for a “constructive termination” lawsuit. Having an experienced Hawaii wrongful termination attorney by your side can be critical if you resign from your job.  

Fighting an unfair dismissal case alone can be challenging and prove unsuccessful. Most employers have the experience and resources to handle wrongful termination claims and might have a team of lawyers on retainer for such cases. You need an experienced lawyer on your side who can level the playing field and hold your employer fully accountable for violating labor laws. A Morgan & Morgan wrongful termination attorney can: 

• Explain your legal rights and the next best steps 
• Gather evidence to build your case against an employer
• Calculate your financial losses
• Negotiate with an employer for a fair settlement
• File a lawsuit to pursue compensation
• Fight your case vigorously at trial 

Losing your job unfairly can be devastating. However, you have peace of mind and know that your best interests are protected with a tenacious attorney by your side. Our attorneys could help you get what you need to rebuild your life and avert financial hardship after you were wrongfully terminated in Hawaii. 

Filing a wrongful termination case in Hawaii can be complicated as there are various deadlines, depending on the type of case. For example, if you were fired due to retaliation or discrimination, you must first file a claim with the EEOC within 180 days of the incident. The EEOC can then issue you with a “notice to sue,” allowing you to file a lawsuit against your employer. 
If you have a case for breach of contract in Hawaii, you could have up to six years to file a lawsuit against your employer. Some unfair termination claims qualify for a personal injury lawsuit, giving victims two years to file a suit.

Since wrongful termination laws can be confusing, consider speaking to our Hawaii labor attorneys as soon as possible to determine the best timing for your lawsuit. Missing a deadline could bar you from suing your employer and receiving compensation. 

Nobody wants to hear the words “you’re fired.” These two words can turn your life upside down and have negative consequences for you and your entire family. However, if your employer illegally fired you, you could have legal recourse and hold them accountable.
