Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: Wrongful Termination

You may have a claim for whistleblowing. See an attorney as soon as possible.

Re: Wrongful Termination

You may have a potential whistleblower claim because Florida law makes it unlawful for an employer to fire an employee who has objected to and/or refused to participate in a practice that is in violation of a local, state, or federal law. Please feel free to contact us at (561) 447-8888 for further assistance.

Re: Wrongful Termination

This certainly sounds like a potential whistleblower claim under Florida Statute section 448.102, as long as the employer has more than 15 employees. (If not, they are not covered by the law.) If you prevail on such a claim, you can be awarded reinstatement, lost pay and benefits, costs and attorneys fees. There may also be other possible causes of action, depending on the facts.

The problem is that you will probably have to sue to pursue your rights. That can be time-consuming and expensive, even if you find an attorney to take the matter on a contingency basis.

If you want to discuss the matter, please call for a free consultation.

Good luck.
