Can I sue for wrongful termination?

Yes, you can sue for wrongful termination in Maryland. Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is terminated from their job in violation of labor laws, a contract, or other legal protections. The key elements for bringing a wrongful termination lawsuit in Maryland are: (1) you were terminated from your job; (2) the termination was illegal under either the laws of the state or an employment contract; and (3) you suffered damages as a result of the termination. If you have been terminated unlawfully, you can file a wrongful termination claim with the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation (DLLR) to protect your rights and hold your employer accountable. You must also contact an experienced employment law attorney to help you gather evidence and build a strong case. If the DLLR finds evidence of wrongful termination, an administrative law judge will determine whether the termination was illegal and decide what actions must be taken. Depending on the case, these orders can include reinstatement of the employee, back pay, and/or lost benefits. If you feel you may have been wrongfully terminated, it is important to discuss your case with an experienced employment law attorney to evaluate your situation and determine the best course of action.
