Wrongful accusation cost my job?

I've just been resently let go from a firm...their base for firing meb was b/c a security guard that works in the building where the clients are, stated that I threw something at him (which is complete lie). The firm let me go b/c their who is stationed insided the building that the guard works in is the firms bread and butter. The firm didn't want any bad reviews from anyone from the client's buidling. now, the guard works for the management company of the building. I don't believe that he has any direct relations with the clients. I told my firm that the accusations bestowed upon me is complete false and that I have zero knowledge of the made up incident. Now, could I bring a separate civil suit against the guard for false accusation which ultimately cost my job? I asked to review the surveilance tape to back up the guards claim...the firm stated they didnt' think so....I'm just really pist.

What an awful situation for you - ugh. I'm not sure I'd waste any more of my time with this company. Sounds like they actually did you a favor - who would want to work in a place like that anyway? This may be a good thing for you... move on.

They might have based their decision on the fact you cannot speak proper English.By law , yes you can ask for and review the tapes.Only ...............if they really exist.

Try to get a good attorney to handle your case and you may be able to sue the firm that let you go as well as the guard. has anyone else been let go because of this man? If so, you could even have a class suit action for the loss of job but also for the humiliation of being let go, emotional distress, and who knows what else. Good luck to you!!

Something is missing here. You were let go for more than just this accusation. It was maybe used as the excuse for your termination, but there is much more to this than meets the eye inclusive of the alleged incident.
