Common Forms of Disability Discrimination in Los Angeles

Disability discrimination can manifest in various ways, negatively impacting the lives and careers of individuals with disabilities. At Greenberg Gross LLP, our experienced team of Los Angeles disability discrimination lawyers is dedicated to fighting against such injustices and ensuring that your rights are protected. Here are some common forms of disability discrimination we encounter in Los Angeles:

Employment Discrimination

Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably because of their disability. This can include wrongful termination, failure to provide reasonable accommodations, demotions, or being passed over for promotions. Our employment attorneys will work diligently to hold employers accountable for discriminatory practices and secure just compensation for affected individuals.

Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodations

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, enabling them to perform their job duties effectively. Failure to provide such accommodations, whether it’s modifying work schedules, providing assistive devices, unfair wages or making physical adjustments to the workplace, constitutes disability discrimination. We are committed to ensuring that employers fulfill their legal obligations.

Harassment and Hostile Work Environments

Individuals with disabilities may face harassment or a hostile work environment due to their condition. This can include derogatory comments, inappropriate jokes, or other forms of mistreatment by colleagues or supervisors. We aim to hold perpetrators accountable and create a safer, more inclusive workplace for everyone.

Legal Protections Against Disability Discrimination in Los Angeles

Disability discrimination is a pervasive issue that affects many individuals in various facets of life, including employment, housing, and public accommodations. At Greenberg Gross LLP, we are committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities receive fair treatment and protection under both federal and state laws. Here are the key legal protections against disability discrimination available in Los Angeles:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places open to the general public. Under the ADA, employers must provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities and ensure accessibility in public spaces. Our attorneys are well-versed in the ADA and will work tirelessly to ensure your rights are protected.

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law that prohibits disability discrimination in programs conducted by federal agencies, in programs receiving federal financial assistance, in federal employment, and in the employment practices of federal contractors. If you experience discrimination in any of these areas, our team can help you pursue justice and appropriate remedies.

California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)

In addition to federal protections, California has robust state laws safeguarding against disability discrimination. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits employers from discriminating against employees because of their disability. FEHA also mandates that employers provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities unless doing so would cause undue hardship. Our attorneys are experienced in handling FEHA claims and will advocate on your behalf to ensure compliance with state law.

Unruh Civil Rights Act

The Unruh Civil Rights Act provides protection against discrimination by all business establishments in California, including housing and public accommodations, based on disability. This law ensures that individuals with disabilities have equal access to services, facilities, and opportunities. We are here to help you enforce your rights under the Unruh Civil Rights Act and seek redress for any discriminatory practices.

Reasonable Accommodations

Employers in Los Angeles are required to provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, as long as it does not create an undue hardship. Accommodations may include modifications to work schedules, adjustments to the physical environment, or providing assistive devices. If your request for reasonable accommodations has been denied, our attorneys will fight to protect your rights and ensure you receive the necessary support.

Protection Against Retaliation

It is illegal for employers to retaliate against individuals for asserting their rights under disability discrimination laws. This includes filing complaints, requesting accommodations, or participating in investigations. If you experience retaliation, such as demotion or even termination, our attorneys will pursue legal action to hold the responsible parties accountable and seek compensation for the harm caused.
