Most employees in Virginia are "at will." This means that you can fire them at any time and for any reason unless that reason is illegal. Accordingly, wrongful termination lawsuits tend to be filed after someone is fired on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability, pregnancy, or age.
If you were not an "at will" employee (for example, you signed a contract), you may be able to file a wrongful termination lawsuit.
