Litco law has been great from beginning to end. Great communication and I feel like they valued me as a client which was very nice
Hyejin S.
My husband was involved in a serious car accident three years ago and suddenly found himself in a very difficult situation. Unfortunately, at that time he did not have his own insurance and was injured while sitting in a co‑worker’s passenger seat. As his pain gradually became worse after the accident, we felt completely lost and did not know what to do. That was when a colleague recommended Litco Law to us.
From our very first meeting, everyone we worked with at Litco Law listened to us with patience and genuine care, even though our English is limited. They took the time to make sure we understood each step, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel rushed. Throughout both the treatment process and the legal process, they were highly professional and organized, which gave us a great deal of comfort.
Whenever we had urgent questions or unexpected requests, the team responded quickly with clear and accurate information. When important decisions had to be made, they always explained the different options and helped us understand what might be the best choice for our situation. Because of this support, we never felt alone or overwhelmed.
We are deeply grateful to Litco Law and would not hesitate to recommend this firm—especially to people who, like us, are not confident in English or are unfamiliar with the legal system—if they are ever injured in a motor vehicle accident. During the entire process, Litco Law was not only our strong advocate, but also a true partner who stood beside us.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to our lawyer, Paul, to Charmaine, and to all the staff members who helped us along the way.

I was very happy with the service that Litco provided. They got me a fair settlement figure and were very patient with me. My only drawback was not signing on early in my claim and having to take the higher commission percentage, but that was my own doing. Thanks again Litco!

How Can Litco Law Help Me?
We know that facing a workplace issue can feel overwhelming. Whether you’ve been wrongfully dismissed, experienced a toxic work environment, or you’re just unsure where you stand, we’re here to help you make sense of it all.
When you book a free consultation with Litco Law, we’ll take the time to understand your situation, explain your rights, and let you know how we can best support you.
How Do I Know if I’m Eligible to Make a Claim?
While there are many different workplace matters that can lead to an employment claim, most claims fall into the following categories:
- Termination & Constructive Dismissal: If you’ve been let go without cause or are facing major changes like a demotion or a significant pay cut, you might have grounds for a claim. If this sounds like your situation, it’s worth exploring your options.
- Harassment or Assault: If you’re dealing with harassment or assault at work, don’t wait to reach out for help. These situations are serious. You may need to contact the police or another authority first, depending on the nature of what happened. An employment lawyer can also help protect your rights and guide you through your next steps.
Every circumstance is unique. Even if your situation isn’t listed here, you may still have a valid claim. The best step you can take is to reach out to a lawyer. We’ll listen, ask the right questions, and help you understand your options, at no cost to you.
What Is Constructive Dismissal?
- Role or title (i.e. demotion)
- Responsibilities
- Pay, benefits, and remuneration
- Working conditions and hours of work
- Location of work (i.e. different city, province, or country)
- Work environment (i.e. abuse, harassment, bullying, or intolerable work relationship)
What Is Wrongful Dismissal?
In most cases it means that your boss or company fired you without having any legal reason to do so, or they failed to provide adequate notice or severance.
Examples of Wrongful Dismissal:
- Changes to your contract without consent.
- False allegations or lack of just cause for dismissal.
- Failure to provide severance or notice prior to termination.
- Unpaid wages or earned vacation pay.
What Information Do You Need From Me?
To better understand your situation, we’ll ask the following questions:
- Termination or Constructive Dismissal: Was your termination voluntary or forced? Did your employer provide a reason?
- Warnings: Have you received any written or verbal warnings? Details here are crucial.
- Severance Package: Were you offered a severance package? What were its terms?
Contractual Agreements: Did you sign any documents at termination? - Company Changes: If you experienced changes like a demotion or pay cut, when did these occur? Were you made aware of the changes prior to them taking place?
- Raising Concerns: Did you address these issues with the company while you were employed?
What Are Some Other Factors to Consider?
- Union Membership: If you’re part of a union, your collective agreement likely covers employment disputes. In these cases, your union representative should be your first point of contact.
- Timing of Termination: The date of your termination is crucial. In Alberta, you typically have up to two years to file a claim. If it’s been longer than two years, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to pursue a claim but feel free to reach out to us as there can be exceptions.
- Employer & Position Details: The specifics of your role are important. If you held a high-level, senior, or executive position, you might be entitled to more severance if terminated.
- Length of Employment: Claims are often more impactful (i.e. you may be eligible for more money) if you were employed for three years or longer. That being said, even if you’ve been employed for less time, particularly in a high-level or well-compensated role, a claim might still be worthwhile.
- Compensation Details: We need to understand your total compensation (i.e. salary, wage, bonuses, etc.) to assess potential employment claims accurately.
- Employment Contract: If you signed a contract when you were hired, having a copy on hand is important. It can provide clarity on what you are entitled to and any clauses that might affect your claim.
Can I Afford to Hire an Employment Lawyer?
Absolutely. At Litco Law, we offer free consultations, so you can discuss your case with us without any commitment. If you do choose to file an employment claim, you don’t pay us anything until your claim is resolved.
Can I Be Fired for Taking Parental Leave?
No. It is against the law for an employer to fire or lay off an employee because they are pregnant or taking parental leave. This is a human rights violation.
If your employer gives another reason — like poor performance — but you suspect it’s because of your pregnancy or parental leave, speak to a lawyer before signing anything. An employment lawyer can help determine if your termination was wrongful and what severance or compensation you may be entitled to.
Still unsure? Contact us anyway. We’ll answer your questions for free.
