Riverside Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Employees in Riverside who have been treated unfairly at work because of a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a perceived disability have a resource in Eisenberg & Associates and its experienced disability discrimination attorneys.

When Disability Becomes the Reason for Unfair Treatment

An employer who treats a worker or job applicant unfavorably because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability is engaging in disability discrimination.

Employees with physical and mental disabilities receive wide-reaching protection under California law, including those who work in Riverside. Typically, the state’s anti-discrimination law applies to employers with five or more employees. Covered employers must also offer reasonable accommodations when the law calls for them.

Often, it slips by unnoticed.

Rarely will an employer declare, “You’re fired because of your disability.”

Warning signs might include:

  • A manager who never complained before begins finding fault with your work.
  • Your employment ends shortly after you disclose a medical condition.
  • Once you request an accommodation, your work schedule gets rearranged.
  • You are overlooked for a promotion since your employer figures your disability will hinder your work.
  • The way you are treated shifts after a stretch of medical leave.
  • Upsetting remarks about your disability come from your employer.


Because facts differ from case to case, our Riverside disability discrimination attorney reviews what happened and helps you determine whether unlawful discrimination may be involved.

Riverside Disability Discrimination Attorneys on Your Side

Your job, paycheck, and future can all be shaken by disability discrimination, and deciding where to turn is rarely easy.

Our disability discrimination attorneys at Eisenberg & Associates, serving Riverside, will listen, review the facts, and explain your legal options in plain language.

Ways our disability discrimination lawyers can assist:

California’s Civil Rights Department lists adjusted duties, schedules, work locations, medical leave, and equipment as reasonable accommodations where the law requires them. Whenever an accommodation may be needed, employers are also expected to engage in a timely, good-faith interactive process.

If your employer won’t cooperate, our California employee advocacy attorneys at Eisenberg & Associates can help you understand your rights, request accommodations you may qualify for, and take action.

Where Eisenberg & Associates Stands Out

Grounded in Employment Law

Looking at the Bigger Picture

Another explanation often gets offered by employers in disability discrimination situations. To see beyond it, we consider the full timeline, including what occurred before and after you shared your disability or asked for an accommodation.

Nothing Owed Without a Recovery

Qualifying cases are taken by our disability discrimination attorneys on a contingency fee basis. Should we not obtain a recovery for you, legal fees are not owed. Which fee arrangement fits your case is a fair question to ask us.

Questions Worth Asking, Answered

Does Eisenberg & Associates take disability discrimination matters?

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

What happens if my employer says no to an accommodation?

The Civil Rights Department says covered employers generally must provide reasonable accommodation for qualifying disabilities unless it creates undue hardship, and may need to join a timely, good-faith interactive process. Eisenberg & Associates can review your request and their response.

Does a claim require that I was let go?

It doesn’t. Depending on the facts, a denied promotion, fewer hours, demotion, refused accommodation, harassment, or retaliation may also amount to discrimination.

Is retaliation possible if I request an accommodation?

Employees may have legal protection against retaliation for protected activity, depending on the circumstances. If treatment worsens, keep records and think about speaking with our Riverside disability discrimination lawyer.
