Statements from reliable witnesses can make or break a wrongful termination case, placing them in a position of high importance. An employment law attorney in Los Angeles will tell you that even one witness can strengthen your case, turning it from a he-said, she-said situation into a case that can be proven through evidence. Although a judge often wants to trust a victim’s statement, the accused manager or employer usually denies any wrongdoing, leaving the judge or jury wondering who to believe.
By having a witness willing to sign a document or testify stating what he saw, it can make a critical difference in proving your case. No matter whether you plan on taking the case to trial or settling out of court, it’s important to have a witness lined up for your best chance at success. Here are some examples of circumstances where a witness can turn a hopeless case into a strong one.
Keep in mind that some potential witnesses may be reluctant to testify based on a fear of retaliation from their employer. That’s why it’s important to work with an employment law attorney in Los Angeles who can help you find a reliable witness and convince them to make a statement.
