Understanding Disability Discrimination

Disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably because of a physical or mental impairment. This type of discrimination can manifest in various forms and impact a person’s ability to secure employment, receive fair compensation or advance in their career. Both state and federal laws, such as the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), provide robust protections against such injustices.

Forms of Disability Discrimination

Disability discrimination can take many forms, including:

  • Harassment: Negative comments or hostile behavior directed at an employee because of their disability. 
  • Failure to Accommodate: An employer’s refusal to provide reasonable accommodations that allow a disabled employee to perform their job duties effectively. 
  • Disparate Treatment: Treating disabled employees less favorably in terms of hiring, promotions, pay raises, training opportunities or other employment benefits. 
  • Retaliation: Punishing an employee for requesting accommodations or reporting discriminatory practices. 
  • Barrier Imposition: Implementing policies or criteria that disproportionately affect employees with disabilities, unless these are essential to the job’s nature.

These forms of discrimination not only hinder professional growth but also contribute to a hostile work environment, making it imperative for affected individuals to seek legal advice and representation.

How Our Fremont Disability Discrimination Lawyer Can Help

The Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro is experienced in handling disability discrimination cases with a deep understanding of employment law and a profound commitment to justice.

Employers are legally required to engage in an interactive process with disabled employees to determine appropriate accommodations. These may include modifications to the work environment, flexible working hours, or assistive technologies. If your employer fails to comply, we can help you assert your rights and facilitate this process, so you receive the support needed to perform your duties effectively.

Navigating the legal landscape of disability discrimination can be daunting. Our experienced attorney will represent you in disputes, negotiations and, if necessary, litigation. We will gather evidence, consult medical and occupational professionals and build a strong case to demonstrate your employer’s liability and your entitlement to remedies such as back pay, front pay, lost benefits and emotional distress compensation.
