Disability Discrimination Claims
Los Angeles Workplace Disability Discrimination Claims Lawyer
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) makes it illegal for an employer to harass an employee or treat him or her differently in the terms and conditions of employment because of the employee's disability, perceived disability, or association with a person with a disability. The law prohibits biased treatment in compensation, benefits, job classification, hiring, firing, and promotions. It also stipulates that employers must provide a "reasonable accommodation" to disabled employees or applicants, if doing so will enable the individual to work without causing an undue hardship for the employer. If you need advice about your workplace rights and options for compensation, contact the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lovretovich. We have offices in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and in Orange County.
Failure to Reasonably Accommodate for Disabilities
Federal disability discrimination laws such as the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit any adverse job action or disparate treatment — in hiring, firing, promotions, wages, schedules, work privileges, or layoffs — because of a worker’s disability or perceived disability. As long as a person with a disability is capable of performing the job, he or she must be given an equal chance for employment and advancement. Employers are responsible for making reasonable accommodations for workers with genuine disabilities who are otherwise capable of performing the required work. The reasonable accommodations are meant to be worked out between the employer and the employee, and each side is under an obligation to work in good faith toward a mutually acceptable solution. These accommodations might involve the following:
- Adjusting work policies
- Installing handrails
- Providing an individualized work schedule
- Modifications of equipment or work related devices
- Use of assistive equipment and technology
- Wheel chair ramps or similar physical accommodations
- Altering a workstation
- Providing TTY equipment for a hearing-
impaired worker - Altering some job tasks
If you believe that you have been discriminated against in your workplace due to your physical or mental disability, you may be able to file a disability discrimination claim against your employer. A lawyer experienced with disability accommodation laws can can answer questions you may have about your situation. Each case is individually assessed to determine if the accommodations must be made.
