Disability Discrimination
If you feel that your employer has treated you differently because of your disability, you should contact the Law Offices of Lauren Goldberg, PLLC for a consultation. We will review the facts of your case and advise you of any potentials claims you may have against your employer.Federal, State and City laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees with disabilities or who are perceived to have disabilities. You are disabled if you have a condition which limits one or major life activities, such as eating, breathing, sleeping or hearing, that is long-standing or permanent. Disabilities may be either physical or mental. Mental disabilities may include developmental disorders or mental illness.
Disability discrimination can take many forms. For example, if someone fails to hire you because of your disability or your perceived disability, you may have a claim for discrimination. Additionally, if someone refuses to give you promotions or raises because of your disability that too may qualify as a claim.
Retaliation
If you request an accommodation to your employer and your employer retaliates against you, you may have a retaliation claim against your employer. To review all your options, call the Law Offices of Lauren Goldberg, PLLC.
