Sacramento Disability Discrimination Lawyer

A physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a perceived disability should not lead to unfair treatment at work, and Sacramento employees who have faced it can turn to Eisenberg & Associates for capable disability discrimination counsel.

Spotting Unfair Treatment Over a Disability

Employers engage in disability discrimination when an employee or applicant ends up with worse treatment because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability.

Sacramento workers with physical and mental disabilities are among those protected by California law, which offers broad coverage. The state’s anti-discrimination law usually applies once an employer has five or more employees. Employers must also provide reasonable accommodations when the law requires it.

Plenty of cases don’t look obvious.

Few employers would ever admit, “Your disability is behind this termination.”

Patterns that sometimes show up:

  • Your supervisor, who raised no concerns before, now objects to nearly everything you do.
  • A health condition you mention at work is followed closely by losing your job.
  • You ask for an accommodation and find your hours rearranged soon afterwards.
  • Your employer chooses someone else for a promotion, guessing that your disability will affect your work.
  • Coworkers or managers treat you differently after you return from medical leave.
  • Disrespectful comments about your disability are made at work.

Because every case turns on its own facts, our Sacramento disability discrimination attorney reviews what happened and helps you determine whether it may involve unlawful discrimination.

Quick Answers for Workers

Will Eisenberg & Associates look at a disability discrimination case?

Yes. Employees come to Eisenberg & Associates with disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters, along with related workplace disputes.

My employer declined my accommodation request. What should I know?

Per the Civil Rights Department, 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. We can look over your request and the reply you received.

Is getting fired a prerequisite for a claim?

No. Depending on the facts, a lost promotion, reduced hours, demotion, denied accommodation, harassment, or retaliation can also be discrimination.

Could asking for an accommodation lead to retaliation?

Legal protection against retaliation may exist for employees engaged in protected activity, depending on the circumstances. If treatment worsens, keep records and consider speaking with our Sacramento disability discrimination lawyer.
