Experienced disability discrimination attorneys at Eisenberg & Associates stand ready for San Jose employees whose physical or mental disability, medical condition, or perceived disability led to unfair treatment at work.
It is disability discrimination when an employer puts an employee or job applicant at a disadvantage because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability.
Employees who have physical or mental disabilities are widely protected under California law, and workers in San Jose are no exception. As a rule, employers with at least five employees come under the state’s anti-discrimination law. When the law demands it, those employers must provide reasonable accommodations too.
It isn’t always obvious when it’s happening.
Seldom does an employer announce, “We’re terminating you over your disability.”
Things that may stand out:
Every situation has its own facts. Our San Jose disability discrimination attorney will review what happened and help you determine whether unlawful discrimination may be involved.
What to do next is a hard question when discrimination over a disability puts your job, income, and future at stake.
Serving San Jose, our disability discrimination attorneys at Eisenberg & Associates listen to your story, review the facts, and lay out your legal options in plain terms.
Situations our disability discrimination lawyers may help with:
Reasonable accommodation, where the law requires it, comes in several forms, California’s Civil Rights Department says: changes to job duties, schedules, work locations, or equipment, and medical leave. Employers are also expected to take part, in a timely and good-faith way, in the interactive process when accommodation may be needed.
Eisenberg & Associates can help with your rights, the accommodations you may qualify to request, and the steps available when an employer won’t cooperate.
Employees up against workplace discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and other job problems are who Eisenberg & Associates represents through its employment law practice. No need to learn every legal rule first, even if the law seems tangled.
Employers sometimes cite a different reason for what happened, which is why disability discrimination can be hard to pin down. Our review takes in the whole story, including events before and after you disclosed your disability or asked for an accommodation.
We handle qualifying cases on a contingency fee basis through our disability discrimination attorneys. Legal fees are owed only if we obtain a recovery for you. Details of the fee arrangement for your case are yours to ask about.
We make time to learn about your workplace situation, look through the information you have, and explain the legal options that may be available. You deserve to be heard.
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.
