Disability Discrimination

When you have a disability that affects an important function, yet you are still able to perform your job duties, your employer must provide “reasonable accommodation” that allows you to do your job. Depending on the nature of the disability, this accommodation could be something as simple as providing a large computer screen or an adjustable height work surface.

It is important in such cases to understand the employer’s motivation as well as other important facts. When a person notifies the employer about a disability or medical condition, the employer has an obligation to learn about the condition and make reasonable accommodation. This mandatory process is called the good faith interactive process and is required of California employers that have been given notice of a disabling or potentially disabling condition.

If the employer fails to accommodate or to engage in the good faith interactive process and instead forces you to work without accommodation, terminates your employment or discriminates against you in other ways, you may have a claim under federal and California laws.

What If You Have Suffered Discrimination?

If you think that your employer is discriminating against you because of a health condition or disability or you are not being hired or promoted for these reasons, Reisner & King lawyers may be able to help.

We will listen carefully to your account of what has happened to you at your job and conduct in-depth interviews to get to the bottom of the discrimination or harassment you felt. We will then undertake thoughtful mediation, skillful negotiation or aggressive litigation in court to achieve results for you.
