Portland Wrongful Termination Attorney

Wrongful Termination Lawyer in Oregon

In Oregon, like most other states, employment is "at will."  This means that the employer can fire the employee at anytime for no reason or any reason, so long as that reason is not unlawful.  An employee who is unlawfully terminated or is forced to quit can have a claim for "wrongful termination."

Despite an employee's at-will status, it is unlawful for an Oregon employer to fire an employee on the basis of an employee's race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, age, physical or mental disability, personal or family medical condition, work injury, marital status, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation or because the employee complains about his or her wages, hours or benefits.  More importantly, an employer cannot retaliate against an employee for reporting or opposing discrimination or harassment, even if it is on behalf of another employee.

Additionally, it is unlawful for an employer to fire an at-will employee for "whistleblowing" or for reporting or filing a complaint (internally or to an outside governmental agency) about an employer's wrongdoings or for protesting an employer's unsafe work place or other illegal conduct such as exposing the public to harm; falsifying business records; engaging in deceptive business practices; or defrauding customers, shareholders, government or the public in general.

Have you been wrongfully terminated in Oregon?

If you have been wrongfully terminated, you may be entitled to full compensation under the law for any past or future loss of earnings, reinstatement (only if you want to return to work), other benefits, emotional distress, punitive damages, and even attorney's fees and costs.

If you believe you have a cause of action for wrongful termination, it is prudent to seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in this field of law as soon as possible and preferably before filing a claim with any governmental agencies.
