Encino Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Workers in Encino who were treated unfairly on the job because of a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a perceived disability can count on Eisenberg & Associates for skilled disability discrimination representation.

How Do You Know It’s Disability Discrimination?

Disability discrimination means an employer puts a worker or applicant at a disadvantage because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability.

Employees with physical and mental disabilities receive far-reaching protection under California law, and that includes people who work in Encino. The state’s anti-discrimination law typically covers any employer with five or more employees. Employers that fall under it must also provide reasonable accommodations when the law asks for them.

Often, disability discrimination goes unnoticed at first.

Employers seldom admit, “We’re ending your job over your disability.”

Look instead for warning signs such as:

  • A supervisor turns cold and starts scrutinizing your work out of nowhere.
  • Your job ends right after you tell HR about a health condition.
  • Your duties or hours shift immediately after you request an accommodation.
  • A promotion goes to someone else because your employer assumes your disability will hold you back.
  • The way you’re treated changes once you’ve used medical leave.
  • Coworkers or managers make insulting remarks about your disability.

Every case rests on its own facts. Our California disability discrimination attorneys serving Encino review what happened and help you decide whether it could amount to unlawful discrimination.
