Anaheim Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Eisenberg & Associates gives Anaheim employees access to skilled disability discrimination lawyers when they have been mistreated at work over a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a perceived disability.

Disability Discrimination, Explained

A worker or job applicant faces disability discrimination when an employer treats them unfairly because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability.

California law offers broad protections to employees with physical and mental disabilities, and employment lawyers in California often emphasize that it may provide broader protections than federal law. The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) generally applies to employers with five or more employees. Covered employers must provide reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants and employees with disabilities unless doing so would create an undue hardship.

Spotting disability discrimination is not always simple.

Employers rarely announce, “You’re being let go because of your disability.”

Instead, the signs may look like this:

  • A manager suddenly becomes critical of your work.
  • You lose your job shortly after sharing a medical condition with your employer.
  • Your work hours change after you request an accommodation.
  • You are passed over for a promotion because your employer believes your disability will limit your work.
  • Your treatment shifts after you take medical leave.
  • Your employer says hurtful things about your disability.

The facts differ from case to case. Our Anaheim disability discrimination attorney reviews what happened and helps you see whether your situation could involve unlawful discrimination.

People Also Ask

Is Eisenberg & Associates able to help with disability discrimination?

Yes. Eisenberg & Associates represents California employees in employment law matters including disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, retaliation, wrongful termination, and related workplace disputes.

What can I do if my employer denied my request for a reasonable accommodation?

Your employer may have legal responsibilities when it comes to reasonable accommodation.

The California law states that covered employers generally must offer reasonable accommodation for qualifying physical or mental disabilities, unless it would result in undue hardship. Employers may also be required to take part in a prompt, good-faith interactive process.

Eisenberg & Associates can look at your accommodation request and how your employer handled it.

 

Can I have a disability discrimination claim if I wasn’t terminated?

Yes, being fired is not a requirement for a disability discrimination claim.

Based on the facts, discrimination could involve a promotion you were denied, reduced hours, a demotion, a refused accommodation, harassment, unfavorable changes to your job, retaliation, or some other harmful employment action.

Employees may be protected from retaliation for protected activity, depending on the circumstances.
