Workplace disability discrimination cases are unique in that they involve both civil rights law and employment law. We are experienced in both of these areas of the law.
Disability discrimination at work often involves an employer's failure to provide reasonable accommodations. Reasonable accommodations could be as simple as building an access ramp so employees using wheelchairs are able to enter with ease. They may also involve providing a person with a medical condition, such as diabetes, the appropriate time and space to take required medication.
Discrimination against employees with mental and physical disabilities can also come in other forms. Employees may be denied promotions or raises. They may be refused leave that they are entitled to under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). They may be blatantly harassed by coworkers or supervisors. Regardless of the form that disability discrimination takes, it is illegal, and we are willing to take on employers in order to make it stop and get compensation for the victims.
