Wrongful Termination Expert Witnesses

A wrongful termination expert witness may be a vocational rehabilitation expert that plaintiff and defense lawyers in wrongful discharge and employment discrimination matters retain to assist them and the triers of fact to ascertain the employee’s level of employability, wage earning capacity, job search diligence, and efforts to mitigate since being discharged. To give focus to the lost wage settlement value, this may include, among other factors: a close review of the employee’s transferrable skills; an analysis of the plaintiff’s job searches (not for just the type of job they worked previously); labor market research and historical perspective of jobs available and earnings since the date of discharge. Wrongful discharge and employment discrimination lawsuits have been on the rise in society as our aging, diverse, American workers are replaced by younger, less-costly job candidates. Regulation law changes, employee performance issues, employer management mistakes and other factors add to suit filings in all states.
