How much Is Witness Statements Important in Winning a Wrongful Termination Case?

Have you been treated unfairly or illegally for an extended period of time, before losing your job? If so, you may have been a victim of wrongful termination. There are hundreds of individuals just like you who got discriminated and mistreated at the workplace and finally terminated. Most of them won’t do anything about it, but will simply move on looking for another job.

Those brave enough will stand up to discrimination, seek legal help from a Wrongful Termination Attorney and do everything they can to prove that they are actually victims. You should be among them! Never let anyone intimidate you and tell you what to do. All it takes is one witness, one statement from someone who has seen or heard it all.

But why is witness statement so important, and can it really affect the outcome?

Case Is Closed

Usually, terminated employees don’t have enough evidence to start with, and so the investigation is long and exhausting. Lawyers spend days trying to find that one evidence that will solve the whole thing. And then an eyewitness appears, someone with the right information, someone whose testimony will turn the tables and bring compensation to those who deserve it.

Yes, a witness can change the entire thing and bring the whole case to a close in no time.

Hope Is Restored

If you didn’t have enough evidence to prove that you are a victim of wrongful termination, it is about time to give up and look for another job. You’ve spent almost all your resources and energy on a “wild goose chase”, but did you ever pause for a moment and thought about your colleagues and the people you used to work with? The chances are that at least one of them witnessed or heard the conversation between you and your ex-employer, or was there when you were threatened or discriminated before terminated. That person is your salvation and the one who could help you receive the much-needed compensation.

Speak with our Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Attorneys and have them approach the witness on your behalf. They will explain to those afraid to speak that they cannot be retaliated against. Once employees realize that they will be fully protected from testifying against their employers, they may help you win your case.

However, the sad fact is that majority of people are too scared of losing their jobs that they would rather look the other way than confront their employers, even in situations where they are being victims of discrimination. It is never an easy task to testify against your employer, as it will change your professional relationship and most likely affect your work.

Yes, a single statement from a witness can help you close your case. But in reality, finding a witness who is willing to provide you with a statement is a whole different story, one that does not always have a happy ending.
