Even though Indiana is an at-will employment state, certain types of situations are still considered wrongful when a person such as yourself has been fired from your job. You may have heard that employers may fire you at any time and for any reason, and while this may be generally true, they may not do so as a retaliatory action or for your exercising your statutory rights.
You may have suffered a workplace injury, and after filing a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, your employer may have reacted by firing you. You may have alternatively been asked to do some sort of illegal activity, and after you refused to do what was requested, you may have been let go.
Other situations that might be wrongful are if you reported your employers’ illegal activities to the appropriate authorities or if you were terminated based on your protected status or as a result of your filing a sexual harassment claim. Despite the state’s at-will laws, all of these situations may provide sufficient grounds for your seeking damages from your former employer for your termination from your job.
