Missouri is an at-will employment state, but that does not mean an employer can legally fire someone for any reason.

Wrongful termination may occur when an employee is fired because of discrimination, in retaliation for reporting workplace misconduct, for exercising protected rights such as taking qualifying FMLA leave, or for refusing to participate in illegal activity. Termination that violates a written employment contract may also provide grounds for a claim.

If you believe the reason you lost your job may have violated the law, Sedey Harper Westhoff can help you understand your rights and whether you may have a wrongful termination claim. https://bit.ly/4hmqs4W

You reported harassment or discrimination. Then everything at work changed.

Suddenly, your performance is being questioned. You are receiving write-ups you never received before. You are placed on a performance improvement plan. Maybe you are even fired for alleged "poor performance."

Employers have the right to address legitimate performance problems, but they cannot use performance as a cover for unlawful retaliation.

Were you fired, written up, or put on a performance improvement plan after reporting workplace harassment or discrimination? Learn when an employer’s stated performance concerns may actually be evidence of retaliation.

The most visible welding hazards are sparks and open flame, but some of the greatest risks are harder to see.

Electrical current, toxic fumes, defective equipment, inadequate ventilation, and missing protective measures can cause severe burns, respiratory illness, electrical shock, and other serious injuries. Determining what went wrong may require examining the welding equipment, jobsite conditions, safety procedures, training, and the conduct of contractors working nearby.

A welding injury may also involve more than a workers’ compensation claim. Equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, or other third parties may share responsibility depending on how the incident occurred.

Sedey Harper Westhoff investigates welding accidents throughout the St. Louis area to identify every preventable failure and every party that may be held accountable.
