Add Comment Question: 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. Answer: Your boss can let you go for any reason, but if you have no other discipline then you're certainly entitled to compensation. Please give us a call to discuss.
