Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as wrongful termination in Washington state?
Despite being an at-will employment state, Washington law prohibits termination based on protected characteristics (race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin), retaliation for protected activity (reporting safety violations, filing workers' comp claims, whistleblowing), or violation of a written employment contract. If any of these apply, you may have a wrongful termination claim worth pursuing.
How long do I have to file an employment discrimination claim in Washington?
You typically have 300 days to file a charge with the EEOC, or six months to file with the Washington State Human Rights Commission. For wrongful termination claims under Washington common law, the statute of limitations is generally three years. Evidence disappears and deadlines are firm — contact an employment attorney as soon as possible.
Can my employer retaliate against me for reporting workplace violations?
No. Washington's anti-retaliation laws are broad. Reporting OSHA violations, wage theft, discrimination, or other illegal conduct is legally protected. If your employer demotes, disciplines, or terminates you after you report a workplace violation, you likely have a retaliation claim in addition to the underlying violation.
What damages can I recover in an employment lawsuit in Washington?
Depending on the claim, you may recover lost wages (back pay and front pay), emotional distress damages, punitive damages in some cases, and attorney's fees. Washington Law evaluates each case individually and will give you an honest, realistic assessment of potential recovery before you commit to litigation.
