California law and federal law allow workers to report employers for suspected wrongdoing and to cooperate with investigators looking into various forms of misconduct without fear of being retaliated against by their employers. Unfortunately, not all employers obey the law.
Have you been in some capacity mistreated by an employer after blowing the whistle on safety violations, reporting sexual misconduct, or simply agreeing to answer the questions of investigators looking into violations at your workplace? If so, you may have grounds to file a claim or lawsuit accordingly.
Discuss your case with a lawyer for more information about your legal options. A Long Beach retaliation attorney at the Rager Law Firm will go over your case’s details and explain what the appropriate next step may be.

Or, you could seek financial compensation if the manner in which you retaliated caused you to endure significant economic hardship.
Those are just a few examples. Regardless, proving that an employer didn’t have a valid reason to fire you, deny you a promotion, or otherwise subject you to mistreatment can be challenging if you lack the necessary expertise.
