Types of Employment Law Cases Our Oxnard Attorneys Handle
Our attorneys accept several types of cases in Oxnard, including:
Terminal equivocado
Losing your job does not automatically qualify you to seek damages in a lawsuit. However, you may have a legitimate Terminación incorrecta case if your employer fired you because:
- You filed a workers’ comp claim for a workplace injury.
- You used allowable sick leave (per California Labor Code § 233).
- You refused to work more hours than permitted by the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) (per California Labor Code § 1198.3).
- You discussed your salary with others (per California Labor Code § 232).
These are just a few examples. If you believe your employer unlawfully terminated you, nuestro abogados de despido improcedente will review the specifics behind your case and explain whether you have a right to take legal action against your employer.
Whistleblower Retaliation
Wrongful termination cases commonly result from “whistleblowing” activities. Your employer cannot legally fire, demote, or otherwise punish you for:
- Reporting a safety issue in the workplace (per California Labor Code § 6310)
- Filing a complaint with the DLSE about unpaid wages or other matters (per California Labor Code § 98.6)
Additional protected whistleblowing activities may include addressing unethical or harmful practices, exposing harassment or fraud, and reporting a data breach.
Cuestiones salariales y horarias
Wage and hour issues that may qualify you for a claim include:
- Receiving less than minimum wage
- Being forced to perform overtime work without pay
- Not receiving rest or meal breaks as required by law
- Misclassification as an independent contractor instead of an employee
If you are a victim of these or other unfair practices, our team will fight for fair compensation on your behalf.
Workplace Discrimination
Según el California Civil Rights Department, your employer cannot legally fire or discriminate against you in the workplace based on your:
- Carrera
- Sexo
- Gender identity
- Orientación sexual
- Nationality
- Religión
- Edad
- Estado civil
- Pregnancy status
- discapacidad
Según el California Labor Code § 1197.5, workers also cannot be paid less than others for similar work based solely on these factors.
If you believe you were treated unfairly based on one of these or another protected characteristic, our attorneys may be able to establish that you suffered workplace discrimination.
Acoso sexual
Según el State of California Department of Justice, any unwanted sexual conduct that creates an “intimidating, hostile, or offensive” workplace environment is considered sexual harassment.
Our employment attorneys can help you seek fair compensation for any harm you experienced.

- Past and future lost income and benefits
