Tesla Wrongful Termination Lawyer – Can I Sue Tesla?


Tesla Wrongful Termination Lawyer – Can I Sue Tesla attorney lawyer employment sue compensation lawsuit

Were you a victim of wrongful termination? If you were fired based on an unlawful reason (such as any of your protected personal characteristics), you might have been a victim of wrongful termination. If you were fired because of your color, race, sex, gender identity, religion, or disability, for example, you were likely wrongfully terminated. If you were fired for exercising your basic rights as an employee (such as the right to go on leave, for example), your termination could also be wrongful.

Tesla is easily one of the most recognized employers. Tesla, once known as Tesla Motors, was founded in 2003. The company, owned by Elon Musk, is mainly known for the production of electric vehicles. Tesla employs over 45,000 people. Even though Tesla is among one of the most prestigious names, Tesla is not free of any allegations of mistreatment in the workplace.

If you believe that you were wrongfully terminated, it is essential that you explore the possibility of taking action against your employer. Depending on the details surrounding your claim, you could file a claim against your employer and even recover some sort of compensation for your wrongful termination.

Wrongful Termination and the Law

In the case of at-will employment, there generally does not have to be a valid reason to terminate employment. Both the employer and the employee have the right to terminate employment for any reason. However, termination that is in violation of any state or federal employment laws is wrongful.

These are the laws that are most relevant to wrongful termination:

  • The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (federal): this law prohibits discrimination as well as termination on the basis of race, origin, age, gender, religion, and disability, for example.
  • The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (state): this law prohibits discrimination as well as termination on the basis of military status, marital status, genetics, medical conditions, sexual orientation, gender identify, gender, sex, religion, origin, race, age, and disability, for example.

In addition to these laws, there are many other laws that establish employee rights – employers cannot legally terminate their employees for exercising or trying to exercise their rights. Some examples of these laws include the Family Medical Leave Act (federal) and the California Family Rights Act (state), both of which give eligible employees the right to take time off from work for medical illness or to care for someone who is ill. There are many other laws that offer protections and rights to employees that can be relevant to wrongful termination. To learn more about the different laws that could be important to your wrongful termination claim against Tesla, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts today.

Do You Have the Right to Pursue Legal Action against Tesla?

You were subject to wrongful termination; now what? What can you do if you were wrongfully terminated from your position in Tesla? Do you have the right to take any action against Tesla for the wrongful termination that you suffered? Could you sue for your wrongful termination? What can you do? What should you do? In the case of wrongful termination, or any other issues that might arise in employment, affected employees actually have options.

Although the first thing that employees might consider doing after being wrongfully terminated might be to sue their employers, it is not immediately possible. All employment claims must be filed with the appropriate employment agency – whether on the state or federal level. After filing a claim with the appropriate employment agency, affected employees could be granted the right to sue; this means that they could pursue a civil claim against their employer.

Employment Agencies – the EEOC and the DFEH

As briefly mentioned above, all employment claims must go through the appropriate employment agency. On the federal level, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces all federal employment laws and handles all employment claims that might arise. After an employee files a claim with the EEOC, the agency begins an investigation (which usually includes interviewing the different parties involved) and reaches a conclusion. If the agency determines that the employer violated any federal employment laws, the agency will likely file a lawsuit against the employer.

Is there also an employment agency on the state level? Only some states, like California, have employment agencies on the state level. In California, the Department of Fair Housing and Employment enforces all state employment laws and handles all employment claims that might arise. The process is nearly identical. After an employee files a claim with the DFEH, the state agency begins the investigation and eventually reaches a conclusion. If the DFEH determines that the employer violated any employment laws, the agency will likely file a lawsuit against the employer.

Based on this information, it appears that only the employment agencies can file lawsuits against employers that violate employment laws and subject their employees to unfair treatment; however, that is not the case. Affected employees can also directly sue their employers, but they must first be awarded the right to sue.

Getting the Right to Sue

Employees affected by wrongful termination or any unfair treatment in the workplace cannot sue their employers until after being granted the right to sue by the appropriate employment agency. As mentioned above, after receiving a complaint, the employment agencies launch an investigation and come to a conclusion, which could include suing the employer. Upon finalizing an investigation into a claim, the agencies automatically grant claimants (the affected employees) the right to sue. This means that affected employees can pursue a civil lawsuit against their employers.

Although the employment agencies automatically grant the right to sue upon reaching a conclusion, affected parties do not have to wait until the employment agency automatically grants them the right to sue. In fact, claimants can request the right to sue at any time. As soon as the employment agency grants you the right to sue, you can file your civil claim against your employer.

With the assistance of an employment attorney with experience handling wrongful termination claims, you could sue your employer. If you would like to learn more about your right to file a wrongful termination claim against Tesla, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.

Filing Your Wrongful Termination Claim on Time

Although you have the right to take action against your employer if you were wrongfully terminated, you could lose your right to sue if you fail to take action within the appropriate length of time. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to sue. Employment claims are generally subject to strict timelines which vary based on the specific action being pursued.

Consider the following:

  • Claims with the EEOC must be filed within 300 days of the incident (the 300-day deadline only applies in states that have state employment agencies)
  • After being granted the right to sue from the EEOC, civil lawsuits must be filed within 90 days
  • Claims with the DFEH must be filed within 1 year
  • After being granted the right to sue from the DFEH, civil lawsuits must be filed within 1 year

If you would like to learn more about the specific length of time that you have to take action against your employer (whether you are filing a claim with an employment agency or filing a civil lawsuit), it is essential that you seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm at your earliest convenience. Do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm at your earliest convenience to learn more about the time that you have to pursue your claim.

  • Lost income (includes back pay and front pay – all earnings lost because of the termination)
  • Lost benefits (for the loss of work-related benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, and stocks, for example)
