San Jose Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Protections Against Disability Discrimination

Employers can not knowingly discriminate against disabled workers when the disability does not interfere with the job or where the employer can make reasonable accommodations for the disabled employee. While employers have a lot of flexibility in their employment decisions, when workers are passed over, treated differently or terminated because of a disability, federal and state laws treat that kind of behavior like any other form of discrimination.

At the law office of Bohn & Bohn, LLP, our experienced employment law attorneys can help you pursue discrimination cases. We have a proven track record of pursuing complicated litigation against corporations of all sizes, including qualifying small businesses, mid-market companies and globally recognized corporations. We have recovered significant awards from these businesses as well.

California Disability Discrimination Attorneys

From our office in San Jose, our employment law attorneys protect the civil and employment rights of clients in Silicon Valley and throughout the Bay Area.

While employers are not required to create new positions or fund new training for employees who have a disability, if reasonable accommodations to job functions can be made to facilitate an employee's challenges, then state and federal law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requires companies to treat employees equally. For some employees, accommodation can be as little as providing an ergonomic chair or accommodating a worker's pregnancy.

If you suspect that your employer has failed to live up to legal standards and has discriminated against persons with disabilities either institutionally or in a particular incident, then the best way to proceed is to consult with a legal professional regarding your case. Our office offers you access to lawyers with decades of experience litigating and pursuing discrimination claims.
