Eisenberg & Associates is a law firm that represents San Mateo employees who believe they were treated unfairly on the job because of a physical or mental disability, a health condition, or a condition an employer assumes they have.
If an employer gives an employee or job applicant worse treatment because of a disability, a health condition, or a belief that the person has one, that conduct may constitute disability discrimination.
California law provides wide protection to employees with physical and mental disabilities, and in some circumstances it may also require reasonable accommodations. Whether a particular employer or situation is covered turns on the facts.
The signs are not always easy to spot. An employer will seldom state, “We are letting you go because of your condition.”
Instead, an employee might notice that:
Each situation has its own facts. Our San Mateo attorneys look at what happened and discuss with you whether it could involve unlawful discrimination.
Disability discrimination can affect your job, your paycheck, and your future, and deciding on next steps is seldom easy.
At Eisenberg & Associates, our attorneys hear your account, review the facts, and describe possible options in plain language.
Our San Mateo attorneys can discuss:
Under California law, a reasonable accommodation can include changes like modified duties, an altered schedule, a different work site, leave, or specialized equipment, depending on the circumstances. An employer may also be expected to engage with the employee promptly and in good faith about what is needed.
Eisenberg & Associates can help you understand where you stand, discuss how to make an accommodation request, and talk through possible next steps if an employer refuses to engage.
Our practice centers on California employees dealing with workplace discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and related issues. Employment law can be confusing, and you needn't know every rule before getting in touch.
Disability-related discrimination is not always clear, and an employer may cite another reason for what occurred. We examine the entire sequence of events, including what happened before and after you disclosed a condition or requested an adjustment.
It's natural to wonder about cost and how a matter might be handled. When you reach out, we can discuss how working with our firm would be set up, along with the general options that may be available to you.
You deserve to be heard. We take the time to learn about your workplace situation, review the information you have, and describe the legal options that may be open to you.
If you believe your employer treated you unfairly because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability, you can call Eisenberg & Associates at (213) 201-9331 or fill out our contact form to tell us what happened.
