Disability Discrimination Is Prohibited by Law

Under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is illegal for employers to discriminate against qualified employees with physical or mental disabilities. This includes current disabilities, a history of disability, or conditions an employer assumes exist.

Employers must:

  • Provide reasonable accommodations 
  • Engage in a good faith interactive process 
  • Avoid discriminatory comments, actions, or discipline 
  • Refrain from using medical conditions as a basis for firing or demotion 

Common examples of disability discrimination include:

  • Refusing to accommodate medical restrictions 
  • Firing a worker after they request medical leave 
  • Ignoring or delaying requests for modified duties 
  • Harassment related to a disability 
  • Penalizing workers for needing flexibility or treatment 

If you were denied the tools you needed to do your job, we can help you take legal action. We work with clients to document mistreatment, evaluate employer failures, and hold companies accountable for violating the law.

Our clients get:

  • One-on-one guidance from an employment attorney 
  • No-cost case evaluations and contingency-based fees
