Getting laid off from a job is stressful no matter the circumstances, but when you are terminated for reasons that are unfair, wrong, or just straight-up illegal, a termination can feel like a slap in the face. If you were laid off for reasons that you believe to be unfair, you may be able to sue your former employer for wrongful termination. However, because Illinois is an at-will employment state, you may have a hard time proving that your employer fired you for any reason other than that he or she simply felt like it was necessary. If you want to prove wrongdoing and obtain compensation for the injustice against you, retain the help of an experienced Chicago wrongful termination attorney.

Wrongful termination comes in many forms, but at its core, it is the firing or laying off of an employee or group of employees for illegal reasons. That said, there are a few types of cases that frequently pop up. Here are some examples of common wrongful termination triggers:
If you and your employer can prove that your employment contract was voided because of any of the above reasons, you have a good chance of recovering damages for your troubles. Depending on the violation, your employer may even be subject to sanctions and additional penalties as a way of keeping him or her from committing the same violation in the future.
If you believe that you were wrongfully terminated, you may be feeling frustrated, confused, and even angry.
