Santa Ana Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Employees in Santa Ana who feel they were singled out at work over a physical or mental disability, a health condition, or a condition an employer thinks they have can turn to Eisenberg & Associates for representation.

When a Disability Becomes a Workplace Problem

Worse treatment of a worker or applicant because of a disability, a health issue, or an assumption that the person has one may be disability discrimination.

Employees with physical and mental disabilities receive broad protection under California law, which in some situations may also call for reasonable accommodations. Coverage depends on the facts of each employer and situation.

It isn’t always easy to see. Employers rarely say outright, “This job is ending because of your health.”

More often, an employee may see that:

  • Feedback turns harsh from a supervisor who used to be pleased with your performance.
  • Your employment is cut off not long after you mention a health issue.
  • Your work hours are rearranged once you ask for a change.
  • Someone else is promoted because they believe your condition would hold you back.
  • Your treatment shifts after you return from medical leave.
  • Coworkers or managers mock or belittle your condition.

No two situations are alike. Our Santa Ana attorneys review what happened and talk with you about whether unlawful discrimination may be involved.

What Our Santa Ana Legal Team May Do for You

A disability-related problem at work can put your livelihood, finances, and plans at risk, and figuring out where to go from here is rarely straightforward.

At Eisenberg & Associates, our employee rights lawyers in California listen closely, review what happened, and lay out possible options in clear, simple terms.

Topics our Santa Ana attorneys can talk through:

Depending on the circumstances, California law may treat a reasonable accommodation as things like revised duties, a new schedule, a different location, time away, or specialized equipment. Employers may also be expected to respond quickly and in good faith about what is needed.

Eisenberg & Associates can help you understand your position, discuss how to present an accommodation request, and talk through next steps if an employer won’t engage in the conversation.

Common Questions Answered

Do you take on disability discrimination cases?

Employees come to Eisenberg & Associates with employment law concerns like disability discrimination, accommodation issues, retaliation, wrongful termination, and related disputes. We can go over your situation and discuss what could apply.

What can I do if my employer turned down my accommodation request?

Employers may have specific legal duties when it comes to reasonable accommodation, and the particulars of a request count. We can examine what you asked for and how your employer answered, then describe the rights that could be at issue.

Is it possible to speak up even though I still have my job?

Yes. A firing is not the only act that may raise legal concerns. Depending on the facts, the issue could be a passed-over promotion, shortened hours, a demotion, a denied accommodation, harassment, or other adverse changes at work.

Can asking for an adjustment lead to retaliation?

Depending on the circumstances, employees may have protection from retaliation for protected activity. If you were treated differently after you asked or complained, writing down what happened may help, and we can talk through your situation.
