Workplace Discrimination
Disability Discrimination
 If you feel that you have been a victim of workplace discrimination, such as being
fired or are being discriminated against by virtue of a "disability" you may be
entitled to recovery for your lost wages, emotional distress, and possibly punitive
damages against your employer for the workplace discrimination.
What qualifies as a Disability?
You may be considered to be "disabled" for purposes of
a Disability Discrimination case if you suffer from a physical or psychological
ailment that affects your ability to work at your job. The disability may have
pre-existed when you started working for an employer or may have been
discovered after you commenced working.
If I suffered a worker related injury can I still
make a Disability Discrimination Claim?
Even if you were injured at work; your employer has an
affirmative duty to you under California and Federal disability laws. Just
because you cannot work as fast, and as many hours as you did prior to the
injury, your employer cannot retaliate against you.
Disability Discrimination & Reasonable
Accommodation.
Under California employment laws employers must make
"reasonable accommodations" for employees who qualify under the American with
Disabilities Act. This includes but is not limited to any changes to the
workplace or a job that allows an employee to do their job. The purpose of
reasonable accommodations is to make sure that disabled workers have the same
chances and opportunities that any non-disabled worker has.
DAMAGES AND PENALTIES
Depending upon the type of workplace discrimiantion case you have, employees
have various types of damages and penalties that they can recover from their
employers.
In most instances if you have been wrongfully
terminated we will seek the following types of relief for you:
- Emotional Distress
- Lost Wages
- Punitive Damages
