Los Angeles Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Eisenberg & Associates is a law firm that represents Los Angeles employees who feel they were treated unfairly at work because of a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a condition an employer believes they have.

Understanding Disability Discrimination at Work

When an employer treats an employee or job applicant less favorably because of a disability, a medical condition, or an assumption of one, consulting experienced discrimination lawyers in California can clarify whether the conduct amounts to unlawful disability discrimination.

California law offers broad protection to employees with physical and mental disabilities, and it may also call for reasonable accommodations in certain situations. Whether a specific employer or situation is covered depends on the facts.

The signs are not always visible. An employer will rarely say, “Your condition is the reason we are ending this.”

Instead, an employee may notice that:

  • A manager who was satisfied with your work begins picking it apart.
  • You lose your job soon after sharing a health condition.
  • Your schedule shifts after you ask for an adjustment.
  • A promotion goes elsewhere because someone assumes your condition will get in the way.
  • You are treated differently after time away for medical reasons.
  • Supervisors or coworkers make demeaning remarks about your condition.

Every situation has its own facts. Our Los Angeles attorneys review what happened and talk with you about whether it may involve unlawful discrimination.

Where Our Los Angeles Attorneys May Assist

Disability discrimination can touch your job, your income, and your plans, and working out what to do next is rarely simple.

At Eisenberg & Associates, our attorneys listen to your account, go over the facts, and explain possible options in clear language.

Our Los Angeles attorneys can discuss:

Under California law, a reasonable accommodation may involve changes such as adjusted duties, a different schedule, another work location, time off, or special equipment, depending on the circumstances. An employer may also be expected to talk with the employee promptly and in good faith about what is needed.

Eisenberg & Associates can help you understand where you stand, discuss how to raise an accommodation request, and talk through possible next steps if an employer will not engage.

Straight Answers

Does your firm handle disability discrimination?

Eisenberg & Associates works with employees on employment law matters, including disability discrimination, accommodation concerns, retaliation, wrongful termination, and related disputes. We can review your circumstances and talk through what may apply.

My employer refused my accommodation request. What now?

An employer may have certain legal duties around reasonable accommodation, and the details of a request matter. We can look at what you asked for and how your employer responded, then explain the rights that may be involved.

Can I raise a concern if I wasn't fired?

Yes. Termination is not the only action that may raise legal questions. Depending on the facts, it could involve a denied promotion, reduced hours, demotion, denied accommodation, harassment, or other unfavorable job changes.

Could I face payback for asking for an adjustment?

Employees may have protections against retaliation for protected activity, depending on the circumstances. If treatment changed after you asked or complained, keeping notes about what happened can be helpful, and we can discuss your situation.
