Discrimination/Wrongful Discharge

Charleston Employment Discrimination Attorneys

The West Virginia Human Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, blindness or disability. Discrimination based upon any of these factors is illegal. If you or someone you care about has been the victim of workplace discrimination, you may have a claim. At Hunt & Lees, L.C., we stand up for the rights of individuals who have been victims of discrimination and wrongful termination.

If you have been a victim of workplace discrimination, a lawyer from our firm can help. Contact Hunt & Lees today to arrange your consultation.

Discrimination comes in many forms

Some types of discrimination may be more obvious than others. For instance, pregnant women are supposed to be provided with reasonable accommodations at work. When an employer does not provide a pregnant woman with reasonable accommodations, this is pregnancy discrimination. Another type of discrimination that may not seem obvious is retaliating against a worker who has been injured at work and filed a workers' compensation claim. Wrongful discharge based upon retaliation for filing a workers' compensation claim is illegal.

Our firm provides vigorous representation to people who have been discriminated against in ways such as:

• Wrongful termination
• Passed over for a promotion
• Demotion
• Retaliation
• Other types of unfair treatment
