I was recently fired from my job because of a small accident. I had accidentally scratched a forklift while working on it. My boss takes me aside later on that day and says that he is firing me because of the accident. I thought I was just going to be written up because I never have been for small accidents. I've never been written up for anything. The fact is that there have been people that intentionally vandalized other forklifts, and nothing has been said to them. My boss said that he had to make an example out of me by letting me go. Not even a warning. My intention is to seek legal representation by hiring a lawyer, but I want to know if my points for suing my former company are valid.

I requested a salary review and I was laughed at, told that I do nothing and the only thing that I do well is showing up on time. I have been called a retard, liar and no matter what I do, he always tells me it is wrong. He told me that I should have been fired many times before and that whenever I do anything for him that his stomach is sick because I will mess it up. He told me that he would find a mistake that I made and I would "pay for it". My phone was not working so he threw it against the wall. He speaks down to me.
