    Default Breach of Contract in NYC for Independent Contractor

    My question involves independent contractors in the state of: NY in NYC

    I was hired as an independent contractor doing web programming.
    I signed an agreement to work for a period of 3 months.

    On the Monday of the third week of working, they said they have to release me from my contract.
    They said they need another person on a more senior level with better knowledge.
    At that point I had done everything they said to do, even things that was outside of the description of the job.


    So, they showed me the door.

    I like to ask here is.... Can I sue for bridge of contract and claim
    for the pay that is from the 3 month period agreed upon in writing?
    And can I also sue for claims for other opportunities that I was offered but rejected b/c I accepted this job which ended in the third week of a three month period.


    Thanks

    I can't read the contract from here, so I'm not in a position to determine if it limits their ability to fire you. Does it?

    I suspect they would respond to any claim by you by alleging that you overstated your skills in order to get a position and compensation for which you were not qualified.
