Do I Have Enough Evidence To Sue My Former Employer ?

Card image cap

Location: NY. I worked for F500 company as a mid level manager for a year and half. During my tenure, I reported 3 incidents of inappropriate conduct and 1 incident of physical violence where an employee I reported hit me with a cart he was transporting. The same employee was not following safety procedure and I believe intentionally hit me. HR also lost one of the reports I made that was signed by a witness. I expressed interest to my managers my intention to transfer sites due to ongoing harassment and not getting help from senior site leadership. Shortly afterwards, I was placed on a performance improvement plan and lost a transfer opportunity with 20% increase in pay. After being placed on a pip, I made sure to record every conversation I have on 1 on 1 meetings because i suspected site leadership wanted to have an a valid excuse to fire me. They even attached the wrong metrics not representative of my performance which they admitted in a meeting. I also recorded my manager admitting site leadership intention to fire me and that's why i was placed on the pip. After my review period was over, I was given the option of severance payment if i voluntarily leave but refused so I was terminated. What are my options here? I am tight on money and cannot afford a retainer so I want to see if I have a strong case here. I appreciate everyone's help and let me know if I can clarify anything else
