Our lawyers have successfully mediated and litigated numerous disability discrimination cases on behalf of our clients. Let us work for you.
In California, you are considered disabled under the law if you are affected by a condition that limits one or more major life activities, including breathing, walking, seeing, working, reading, eating, hearing, or speaking. Additionally, the disability must be, or be perceived to be permanent, except in cases of disability brought about by pregnancy.
A disabled individual who is in all other ways qualified to perform essential job functions, must be treated equally to all other applicants and employees. In fact, employers may not ask whether a candidate for employment is disabled as part of the pre-employment process.
Furthermore, employers can be required to make reasonable accommodations to meet the needs of disabled individuals, as long as those accommodations do not create an undue hardship to the employer. It is unlawful to discriminate, harass, retaliate against, or terminate an employee who requests reasonable accommodation for a disability.
Disability discrimination in the workplace is a serious matter. You have rights. At the Bononi Law Group, LLP, we are committed to providing each client with competent, experienced, committed representation.
