This depends on the type of employment law claim that you have. Some cases require you to file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission within 180 days of an “adverse” action. Under Maryland law, certain wage claims contain a three-year statute of limitations and provide the right to file directly in Court. It is important to identify the type of employment or injury claim that you have as soon as possible.
Large corporations usually provide a small severance package to an employee that has been terminated, laid off or downsized. If you sign this agreement, you may be waiving your rights to pursue legal claims against the Company. Some severance agreement contains confidentiality and “non-disparagement” provisions that prohibit employees from discussing their employment or the Company. It is important to have an attorney review your severance agreement prior to signing.
Whether you have been injured at the job, in a car crash, explosion or other catastrophic disaster there are time limits that apply to your case. Generally, Maryland has a three-year statute of limitations on injury claims that fall under “wrongful termination” or “negligence.”
This depends on the type of case that you have. Depending on the law (i.e., the governing statute, State court case law or regulations), you may be entitled to wages, pain and suffering, compensatory damages or punitive damages. Some statutes cap injury damages while other statutes (e.g., 42 U.S.C. §1981) are “uncapped.” Uncapped damages are subject to constitutional limitations. BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore, 517 U.S. 559 (1996)
If the case is a matter of negotiating between the parties or conducting an initial investigation and mediation, then your case may take anywhere between two weeks and several months. However, if the case involves litigating the issues through administrative agencies or in federal or state court, the case may take much longer. There a number of different factors that impact the amount of time it takes for a case to resolve.
Different factors affect the value of damages in an employment law or serious injury case. For example, your salary, bonuses, equity awards and benefits are calculated in employment law injuries. On the other hand, damages like pain and suffering depend upon medical records, personal testimony and evaluation of the law and similar cases. Under Title VII, non-economic damages are capped at $300,000. Under the tort of wrongful termination in violation of public policy there is no non-economic damages cap.
