More often than not, courts will look into the damages suffered by an employee to determine the value of your wrongful termination settlement in California. Thus, to know how much you should settle for wrongful termination, loss of income and benefits (from the date you were wrongfully terminated from your job) and emotional distress damages, especially if your firing was based on harassment or discrimination, will be calculated to determine the value of your claim. Most of the time, wrongful termination cases are settled out of court, because wrongfully terminated employees and their employers understand that settlement out of court is often the best option for both parties.
