Claim types

Employment dispute claim types

Wrongful termination

Fired for a reason that's illegal under state or federal law — protected activity, protected class, public policy, breach of implied contract.

Retaliation

Adverse action after you complained internally, contacted HR, filed an EEOC charge, or reported safety/wage issues. Temporal proximity is a strong factor.

Wage theft

Unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, misclassification (independent contractor when you were actually an employee), illegal deductions.

Hostile work environment

Severe or pervasive harassment based on a protected class. One-off remarks usually aren't enough; a documented pattern is.

FMLA / leave violations

Interfered with your right to medical, family, or military leave — or punished you for taking it.

Discrimination

Adverse treatment based on race, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, pregnancy, or other protected class.

FAQ

Employment disputes, answered

Is at-will employment a complete defense for the employer?
No. At-will means termination doesn't require cause, but it still cannot be FOR an illegal reason — retaliation for protected activity, discrimination, public-policy violations all override at-will.
How fast do I need to file?
Many employment claims have short windows. EEOC charges generally must be filed within 180 or 300 days depending on state. State agencies have their own deadlines. CourtRoom AI flags this as a critical timeline — verify your specific deadlines with an attorney.
Do I need a lawyer for an employment case?
Many employment lawyers work on contingency for strong cases. The simulation + report gives you a structured intake document that makes that first consultation much more productive.
What evidence helps most?
Performance reviews (positive ones, before adverse action), the HR complaint email + acknowledgment, the termination letter, any internal communication showing the timeline, and the job posting for your replacement if there is one.
Can I sue if I was fired right after I complained?
Temporal proximity (complaint, then termination shortly after) is one of the strongest retaliation signals. Most courts presume retaliation when the gap is short and the prior performance record was clean. The simulation pressure-tests this exact fact pattern.

“Why not just use a chatbot?”

Fair question. Here’s what a general AI chat can’t do for a real dispute:

✓ Opposing counsel argues against you
A full multi-agent hearing pressure-tests your case from the other side. A general chatbot mostly agrees with you.
✓ Real citations, never invented
References real court opinions (via CourtListener) and your state's statutes. General chatbots are known to hallucinate case law.
✓ Built on your actual evidence
You upload your real documents and it reasons over them — not a generic, one-off answer.
✓ A case workspace that remembers
Report, evidence, timeline, and a case-aware assistant stay in one place — not a chat you lose.
