Being treated unfairly because of a disability, a medical condition, or a condition an employer assumes you have is serious, and Eisenberg & Associates represents Woodland Hills employees who believe this happened to them.
A disability, a health condition, or a belief that someone has one should not be a reason for an employer to treat an applicant or employee worse. When it is, the conduct may be disability discrimination.
California law extends wide protection to employees with physical and mental disabilities, and reasonable accommodations may be required in some situations. Whether it covers a particular employer or set of circumstances is a question of the facts.
The warning signs can be quiet. Rarely will an employer admit, “Your medical condition is behind this decision.”
Here is what an employee may start to see:
No two workplaces are alike. Our Woodland Hills attorneys review the events and discuss with you whether they could point to unlawful discrimination.
When disability becomes an issue at work, your paycheck, your career, and your plans can all feel uncertain, and deciding what to do next is seldom easy.
Our attorneys at Eisenberg & Associates listen to what happened, go through the details, and describe possible options in clear, ordinary terms.
Concerns our Woodland Hills attorneys can discuss:
Depending on the situation, California law may consider a reasonable accommodation to include adjusted job duties, a different schedule, a new workplace, time away, or specialized equipment. Employee accommodation lawyers in California note that employers may also be expected to engage with the employee promptly and in good faith about what the employee needs.
Eisenberg & Associates can help you understand your position, discuss how to submit an accommodation request, and review possible next steps if an employer refuses to participate.
California employees who face workplace discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and related issues are the focus of our practice. The law can seem confusing, and you needn't understand it all before you call.
Discrimination tied to a disability may be hard to see, and an employer could give a different reason for its choices. We look at the entire series of events, including what happened both before and after you disclosed a condition or made a request for a change.
It makes sense to ask about cost and about how a matter might be pursued. When you contact us, we can describe how working with our firm would be arranged and the general options that may be open to you.
What happened to you matters. We take the time to learn about your situation at work, examine the information you have, and explain the legal options that may be available.
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.
