Would you be able to help me get my job back because of wrongful termination?
I was accused of harassing a coworker of
mine and fired without being shown proof.
The coworker had been my friend, so the
accusations didnt make sense. However,
I knew that she was becoming friends with
a discharged patient and so I believe the
accusations were made to cover up what
she was doing.

Unless your discharge violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, it was legal. The fact is that most work relationships are "at will". This means that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). Basically, a worker can be fired for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
