Civil Rights Lawsuit Evidence

Summary

To pursue a civil rights lawsuit for harassment and wrongful termination, gather evidence such as documented incidents, witness testimonies, emails, employment records, and company policies. In Virginia, employment is at-will, but termination cannot be discriminatory or against company policy. Double jeopardy does not apply in employment law, but if termination was discriminatory or policy-violating, a claim may be valid. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.

Can my boss tell me an investigation is over for a company violations and * weeks later fire me for the same thing after the said it was over with
It sounds like you might be dealing with a wrongful termination issue. In Virginia, employers can terminate employees at will, but they cannot do so for discriminatory reasons or in violation of company policy. Here are some points to consider:
- At-Will Employment: Virginia is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees for any reason or no reason, as long as it's not illegal.
- Discrimination: If you believe your termination was based on race, you may have grounds for a discrimination claim.
- Company Policy: If the company has a policy regarding investigations and terminations, they must adhere to it.

Yes. Isn’t that like double jeopardy
In employment law, "double jeopardy" doesn't apply the same way it does in criminal law. However, if your termination was based on discrimination or violated company policy, you might have a valid claim. Would you like to connect with a local lawyer for more specific advice?
