Evidence You Need for a Wrongful Termination Case

Strong wrongful termination cases have: a clear protected characteristic or activity (you reported discrimination, then were fired), suspicious timing (fired shortly after a complaint or protected leave), inconsistent treatment (others who did the same thing weren't fired), pretextual reasons (stated reason doesn't hold up to scrutiny), documented retaliation (emails, performance review changes after complaint), and witnesses.

Weak cases have: legitimate performance issues, consistent enforcement of policies, and long gaps between the protected activity and termination..
