Los Angeles DJ
Wins Right to
Wrongful Termination Suit
2
An ex-DJ filed a wrongful termination suit
against her employer claiming that she was fired
because of a stomach tumor, but the trial court
dismissed it. She appealed and ultimately won the
right to bring the case before a jury. The tumor
required her to miss work for medical procedures
and she was ultimately fired when she informed
them that she would require more surgeries. Her
employer argued that she was not disabled only
because she had a stomach tumor and that she
never requested medical leave or
accommodations. She will be requesting damages
under the California Fair Employment and Housing
Act.

Wrongful Termination Basics
Wrongful termination occurs when an employee has
been fired for reasons that violate California
law. These are adequate grounds for a lawsuit to
be filed against the company for the wrongful
termination. There are two different types of
employees At-will and contract employees.
At-will employees can be fired at any time for
just cause but there are still limits under
employment law. Unfortunately, wrongful
termination occurs far too frequently. In fact,
it may occur as a product of discrimination based
on
Race Age Disability
Gender or Sexuality Religion
Marital Status

Damages for Wrongful Termination
Anyone bringing a wrongful termination suit can
expect to get damages for lost wages if they are
successful. This is calculated by determining how
much you actually lost and will lose in the
future because of the termination. Additionally,
this may include the loss of any benefits that
applied or accrued during your employment. Furthe
rmore, there may be punitive damages. These may
be awarded if the court feels that the company
acted in a particularly egregious manner or has
shown a pattern of misconduct. There are many
different options that are available to the
victims of wrongful termination, but it is
important to contact an attorney and determine
the best recourse.
