‘I Got Hurt and They Let Me Go!’

Our typical clients are people with disabilities, including professionals, and non-professionals. Something happens — illness or injury — to cause a disability. Employees need their employer to provide some accommodation, like time off or an adjusted work schedule. The employer denies the accommodation, and ultimately the person with the disability may be terminated. Understandably, many of our clients are angry, frustrated and stressed, and they are entitled to damages, and potentially getting their job back.

Placer County Wrongful Termination and Disability Lawyers

Employers can be called to account for several different forms of disability discrimination, including:

• Failure to accommodate
• Failure to engage in an interactive process
• Wrongful termination

Our lawyers will help protect your employee rights in each of these situations. We begin by listening carefully to your descriptions of your job and duties, your accident, injury or illness and what restrictions your doctor placed on you because of the disability. We do as much front-end work as possible, including gathering medical records and investigating the facts.
