Cases involving disability discrimination can be particularly heart-wrenching and infuriating. At Gillespie, Rozen & Watsky, we can represent you in cases that involve your employer's refusal to reasonably accommodate your disability when you need specialized equipment of some kind, or when you believe peripheral job duties should be changed because of your physical disability. We also handle termination or other workplace injustice directly related to disability leave or a documented disability that affects one or more major life activities.
We help you clearly document the impact of your disability for the court. Our attorneys have handled many disability discrimination cases.
Pursuing Reasonable Accommodation in the Workplace
Many people suffer from chronic conditions that do not prevent them from performing the essential duties of their jobs, but do require some special equipment or other reasonable accommodation.
If you have a condition that requires special equipment, accommodations, or other changes to peripheral parts of your job, it may be unreasonable for your employer to refuse to accommodate you. If you call attention to a special need and are threatened or terminated for doing so, you may have a valid employment discrimination or retaliation case.
Protecting Your Rights to Medical Leave
When your disability requires you to take time off from work, you probably have rights to return to your job without retaliation, adverse comments, or unfavorable treatment. At v, we know the state and federal laws dealing with your rights and have the experience to get you back to your rightful place in the workplace.
