FL and CA litigation attorney, Jack Holcomb talks about what damages can be awarded in a wrongful termination case. He points out that in wrongful termination cases, damages generally fall into two categories: economic and non-economic. Economic damages include compensation for lost wages and salary directly resulting from the termination. Non-economic damages address emotional distress, which often arises when wrongful termination is tied to mistreatment, harassment, or discrimination based on a person’s identity. He emphasizes that these claims are not only about financial recovery but also about addressing the personal and emotional impact of such treatment. In addition to pursuing legal remedies, he works to connect clients with the right resources, such as psychologists, to support their recovery and help them reestablish themselves in new employment.
