    Irvine Employment Lawyer

    In theory, you have numerous rights as an employee under both state and federal law, and any company you work for is supposed to abide by the restrictions put in place by those laws or face serious financial—and sometimes even criminal—repercussions. In practice, massive companies with thousands of employees and billions of dollars in revenue often ignore employment law and the rights of the people they employ, which can cause severe financial and personal losses.

    If you believe your employer has violated your rights and caused you significant harm as a result, you may need to take legal action against them with our skilled attorney’s assistance. From start to finish of your legal proceedings, your dedicated Irvine employment lawyer could make sure you understand all the options available to you and work diligently to achieve the best possible resolution for your unique circumstances.

    Possible Grounds for Filing Suit Against an Employer

    Wrongful termination is one of the most common grounds for workers across the United States to build employment lawsuits. More specifically, being fired due to discrimination of any kind, in retaliation for any lawful act or complaints about sexual harassment, or in a way that constitutes an illegal breach of a valid employment contract could serve as the basis for an employment lawsuit.

    Our Irvine employment attorney could also help over violations of wage and hour laws, which are deceptively common in companies of all sizes but especially in major corporations with huge employee bases. In fact, there are already class action lawsuits in progress against numerous employers that have illegally withheld wages or misclassified employees as independent contractors in order to illegally deny them certain employment benefits. Anyone harmed by illegal behavior in their workplace has help available from skilled legal counsel.

    What Damages May Be Recoverable Through an Employment Lawsuit?

    Much like most other forms of civil litigation, the main purpose of an employment lawsuit in Irvine is to reimburse the person filing the claim for specific losses they have experienced as a direct result of unlawful actions taken by the employer being sued. While every case is different and not every employee will need to recover for the same things, damages that often factor into claims of this nature include:

    • Back pay for compensation the employee should have received, as well as interest on that compensation to account for the delay in payment
    • Job reinstatement
    • Front pay to account for lost work income until new employment is found
    • Out-of-pocket expenses accrued by the employee due to workplace mistreatment—for example, medical bills for treatment related to harassment or discrimination
    • Emotional anguish and psychological distress
    • Attorney and court costs

    In rare situations involving extremely egregious misconduct by an employer, a court may additionally impose punitive damages against that employer and award them as extra compensation to an impacted employee.

    More on Employment Law

    Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.
    Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.
    Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.
    Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:
    • Class Actions
    • Harassment
    • Wage & Hour Disputes
    • Discrimination
    • Sexual Harassment
    • Wrongful Termination
    If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
    A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.
    It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.
    When employees are discriminated against, harassed, or mistreated, they deserve an advocate. They deserve someone who will fight to protect their rights and hold wrongdoers accountable. At Levin & Nalbandyan, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys aggressively defend the rights of workers, never resting until justice is served. Companies big and small often take advantage of employees, failing to pay them sufficient wages or creating an unsafe, hostile work environment. We believe that workers deserve better. Our firm is dedicated to helping those that have suffered at the hands of their employers.
    We believe that employees deserve to be treated fairly; anything less is unacceptable and unlawful. When there has been a violation of state or federal law, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys do not give up. We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment. If your employer has engaged in any form of harassment, discrimination, or abuse, you should not wait. Get the legal help you need now.
