Know Your Rights Against Disability Discrimination

People with disabilities should be aware of their rights when it comes to workplace discrimination. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) bars employers from treating capable individuals with disabilities unfairly in all aspects of employment. This includes recruitment or hiring, promotion, task allocation, training, and more. Our team of disability discrimination attorneys in San Diego is committed to guiding clients through their rights and combating any discrimination they may face at work.

Below are some things to consider when it comes to workplace disability discrimination:

Reasonable accommodations: Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities unless it would cause undue hardship to the employer.
Prohibited actions: It is illegal for employers to harass, retaliate, or discriminate against employees based on their disability status.
Legal options: If you believe you have been the victim of disability discrimination, you may seek legal guidance to understand your options for pursuing a claim.

If you or a loved has experienced disability discrimination while at work, our team of seasoned attorney are ready to provide you with the experienced support and guidance you need to protect you. Reach out to (619) 268-6585 to request a consultation -- we are ready to discuss your case.

Understanding Disability Discrimination in San Diego, CA

San Diego is home to a vibrant community of individuals with disabilities who contribute greatly to the local economy. However, workplace discrimination remains a significant challenge for many. Resources like the City of San Diego and San Diego County can offer support, but barriers still persist.

A common issue is the lack of awareness about rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. Many employees don’t know they’re entitled to reasonable accommodations or that they can report discriminatory practices. This gap in knowledge often leads to frustration and isolation.
