Under what legal doctrines or exceptions to those doctrines


Adams worked as a delivery truck driver for Cochran. Adams refused to drive a truck that lacked a re­quired inspec­tion sticker and was subsequently fired as a result. Adams was an at-will employee, and Cochran contended that because there was no written em­ployment con­tract stating otherwise, Cochran was entitled to discharge Adams at will—that is, for cause or no cause. Adams sought to recover $7,094 in lost wages and $200,000 in damages for the “humiliation, mental anguish and emotional distress” that he had suffered as a result of being fired from his job. Under what legal doctrines, or exceptions to those doctrines, might Adams be able to re­cover damages from Cochran? Discuss and explain your reasoning.
