Los Angeles Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Strong representation for employees & victims of discrimination.

Have you faced employment discrimination due to your disability or medical condition? Whether you were recently fired or failed to get a job you believe you were qualified for that you suspect was due to your condition, you may have legal recourse.

At LNN, we understand that having a disability or serious medical condition is difficult enough. Having an employer discriminate against you just makes life more difficult, and our Los Angeles disability discrimination lawyers are here to ensure an employer does not get away with this type of illegal behavior.

WHAT IS DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Employment Act prohibits disability discrimination. An employer is required to provide employees who have disabilities and medical conditions with reasonable accommodations, minus certain exceptions. They are also prohibited from discriminating against individuals who have a disability or medical condition, especially one which does not prevent them from doing their job.

This type of discrimination applies to the following actions:

Layoffs
Termination
Failing to hire
Compensation
Failure to promote
Demoting
Training
Job assignments
Failure to provide reasonable accommodations
Failure to provide benefits
Denial of disability leave

Our Los Angeles attorneys are ready to guide you through a disbility discrimination case.

THE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

In addition to protecting you from harassment and unfair hiring and firing practices, employment law protects you from being denied medical leave. This is considered to be a reasonable accommodation and if your employer maintains an inflexible policy, they may be in violation of the ADA. Before you take any steps, it is important that you take action to speak with a knowledgeable Los Angeles disability discrimination lawyer from LNN.

Employers may not ignore requests for accommodations, refuse to discuss alternatives, or punish an employee for making such a request.

Reasonable Accommodations

Many workers contact our firm because their employer refused to make simple workplace adjustments. A workplace disability discrimination lawyer in Los Angeles can evaluate whether the requested accommodation was reasonable under the law.

Reasonable accommodations are changes that allow an employee with a disability to perform the essential functions of their job, but they should not impose an undue hardship on the employer. Accommodations may include:

Modified work schedules or flexible hours
Temporary medical leave
Ergonomic workstations or specialized equipment
Reassignment to a vacant position
Remote work arrangements when feasible

Employers are expected to discuss potential solutions with the employee rather than immediately denying a request or ignoring it altogether.

Key Laws that Protect Employees From Discrimination

Several laws protect workers who experience disability-related discrimination in the workplace. When you speak with our Los Angeles disability discrimination legal attorney, we evaluate which statutes apply to your situation.

Key protections may include:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law prohibiting discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides broad protections for workers with physical or mental disabilities
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take protected medical leave in certain circumstances
The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) provides additional leave protections for qualifying employees

These laws prohibit employers from refusing to hire, terminating, or otherwise putting an employee at a disadvantage because of a disability or medical condition. They also protect workers who request accommodations or report discriminatory behavior.

Where do You Need to File a Complaint?

If you believe you were treated unfairly due to a disability, filing a formal complaint may be a part of the necessary process. A disability discrimination lawyer in California can help determine the proper agency and ensure the complaint is filed on time and without mistakes.

Employees can file a complaint with a government agency after experiencing discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws, applies to fewer employers, and generally has shorter deadlines. California’s Civil Rights Department (CRD), on the other hand, enforces state law, applies to more employers, and gives more time to file.

These agencies review and investigate discrimination claims, may facilitate mediation between the parties, and in some cases issue a right-to-sue notice, which permits the employee to move forward with a lawsuit in court. Deadlines for filing complaints can be strict, so speak with our legal team as soon as possible.

Legal Action and Damages After Disability Discrimination

Our Los Angeles attorney can help you seek compensation for losses related to disability discrimination. Potential damages in disability discrimination cases may include:

Lost wages and lost future earnings
Lost benefits
Emotional distress damages
Reinstatement to a job or promotion when appropriate
Attorneys’ fees and litigation costs when allowed by law

Our firm carefully reviews employment records, communications, and company policies to build a strong case, so we can help you hold your employer accountable and recover financial losses.

More on Employment Law

Why Should I Hire an Employment Lawyer?

Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.

Know the Law & What is Illegal

Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.

Protection From the Defense

Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at LNN are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.

Featured Areas of Practice

Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At LNN, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:

Class Actions
Harassment
Wage & Hour Disputes
Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Wrongful Termination

If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.

Why Hire a Los Angeles Employment Law Attorney

A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.

When to Hire an Attorney

It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.

When there has been a violation of state or federal law, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys do not give up. We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment. If your employer has engaged in any form of harassment, discrimination, or abuse, you should not wait. Get the legal help you need now.
