San Diego Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Eisenberg & Associates helps San Diego employees who have faced unfair treatment at work because of a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a perceived disability, offering the expertise of seasoned disability discrimination lawyers.

Defining Disability Discrimination at Work

Disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or applicant worse because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability, and California labor and employment attorneys handle these cases.

California law strongly protects employees with physical and mental disabilities, including San Diego workers. The usual threshold for an employer to fall under the state’s anti-discrimination law is five or more employees. Covered employers must also provide reasonable accommodations when required by law.

Recognising it can be a challenge.

An employer will seldom say, “Your disability is the reason you’re out.”

Clues that something may be wrong:

  • A supervisor who was fine with your work before suddenly turns praise into criticism overnight.
  • You tell your employer about a health condition, and your job ends soon afterwards.
  • Your hours move around right after you ask for an accommodation.
  • A promotion goes to someone else because your employer thinks your disability will limit you.
  • You sense a change in how people treat you after medical leave.
  • Offensive remarks about your disability come from your employer.

Details differ from case to case. Reviewing what happened, our San Diego disability discrimination attorney helps you decide whether it may amount to unlawful discrimination.

Help From Our San Diego Disability Discrimination Attorneys

Eisenberg & Associates disability discrimination attorneys serving San Diego will listen to your side, review the facts, and explain your legal options in simple terms.

What our disability discrimination lawyers can handle:

Frequently Raised Concerns, Briefly Answered

Can disability discrimination be brought to Eisenberg & Associates?

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

What if my accommodation request gets denied?

Covered employers generally must provide reasonable accommodation for qualifying disabilities unless it would cause undue hardship, and may need to join a timely, good-faith interactive process, according to the Civil Rights Department. Eisenberg & Associates can review your request and what your employer said.

Do I have to lose my job to have a claim?

No. Depending on the facts, discrimination can also show up as a denied promotion, reduced hours, demotion, refused accommodation, harassment, or retaliation.

Is retaliation a risk when I ask for an accommodation?

Employees may be legally protected from retaliation for protected activity, depending on the circumstances. If things get worse, keep records and consider speaking with our San Diego disability discrimination lawyer.
