Catastrophic Personal Injury &
Lost Pay
What earnings have you lost because you were fired? This element of damages includes the pay you would have received if your employer had not fired you, as well as any earned and unpaid wages, overtime, or other compensation the employer has withheld.
Lost Benefits
The value of lost employment benefits is also an element of your damages from a wrongful termination. Because the cost and value of benefits can be difficult to quantify in dollar terms, you might need an expert to evaluate exactly how much you’ve lost for trial. This element includes medical and dental insurance, pension or 401k plans, stock options, and profit sharing, among other benefits.
Emotional Distress
In some wrongful termination cases, you can ask the jury to award emotional distress (also called “pain and suffering”) damages at trial. But, juries generally award emotional distress damages only if the employer has acted really badly and the employee has suffered in a way that can be verified by a
mental health professional.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are an amount the employer is ordered to pay for actions that are particularly egregious. Unlike other kinds of damages, which are intended to reimburse you for losses, punitive damages are
intended to punish the employer and deter similar behavior by others in the future.
