Glendale Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Eisenberg & Associates stands ready to assist Glendale employees who were handled unfairly at work because of a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a perceived disability, with seasoned disability discrimination attorneys.

Understanding Disability Discrimination

An employer commits disability discrimination when it gives a worker or job seeker worse treatment based on a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability.

Strong safeguards exist under California law for employees with physical and mental disabilities, and Glendale workers are covered too. In general, the state’s anti-discrimination law covers employers with at least five employees. Those employers must also supply reasonable accommodations whenever the law requires them.

This kind of discrimination is frequently hidden.

An employer will rarely say outright, “Your disability is the reason we’re firing you.”

More commonly, it shows up like this:

  • Criticism of your work appears suddenly from a manager who had no complaints before.
  • You are shown the door soon after revealing a health condition to your employer.
  • Your assigned hours are moved around after you ask for accommodations.
  • You miss out on a promotion because your employer assumes your disability will affect your output.
  • You notice a shift in how you’re handled after taking a medical leave.
  • Someone at work belittles you over your disability.

No two cases look alike. Our Glendale disability discrimination attorney reviews the facts and helps you determine whether your circumstances may point to unlawful discrimination.
