I got into a verbal altercation with a male that was sexually harrassing me , bulliying me, threatening my job and pointing out how many enemies i have in the company intimidating me that he and the main manager and supervisors are very good friends and pointed out how they are watching me plotting to fire me.This person had just joined the company not even a month . This person then filed a report accusing me of threatening him as a result i was been sent home and he stayed at work pending an investigation there was no audio evidence neither were their any video showing me hitting this person it is just my word against his. I was then called in two weeks later and served a termination letter for violation of workplace relationship policy. Do i have a case against my employers i have the written evidence in text messages with the accuser staing how many enemies i have etc as mentioned above.

Thank you for your question. It sounds as though you were fired "for cause", which can be a very high threshold for employers to meet - particularly where the employee was terminated because they were standing up to harassment and bullying in the workplace. I highly suggest that you speak with a lawyer to discuss your best options going forward.
