Disability Discrimination

California Disability Discrimination Lawyers

As an employee with a disability, your rights are protected by state and federal law. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibit disability discrimination.

Disability discrimination includes adverse employment actions like refusal to hire, wrongful termination, harassment and demotion. Disability discrimination also includes a failure to make reasonable accommodations for disabled workers.

What Is a Reasonable Accommodation?

The basic concept of reasonable accommodation is that employers are expected to take steps to help disabled workers succeed in the workplace. Issues like cost, time constraints and availability are analyzed by courts to determine whether a requested accommodation is reasonable under given circumstances. Our attorneys stay abreast of the latest developments in case law to ensure that you receive cutting edge employment law advocacy.

The question of what constitutes a reasonable accommodation has been the subject of many trials and appeals, with opposing arguments made by attorneys for employees and attorneys for employers. The precise meaning of reasonable accommodation under state and federal laws continues to be the subject of debate and judicial review.
