Los Angeles Disability Accommodation Attorney
When employers or potential employers discriminate against employees because of a disability or a perceived disability, they are violating the law. Working with an experienced trial lawyer can help hold them accountable for their actions.
At the Law Office of Edward Torres in Pasadena, California, attorney Edward Torres uses 26 years of experience to help people who have been affected by disability discrimination. We are well equipped to handle even the most challenging matters of disability discrimination.
Serving people throughout the Los Angeles area, we represent people who have experienced disability discrimination. Our clients are people with physical disabilities such as paraplegia and quadriplegia. They also include people who cannot work because of disabling conditions such as heart disease, cancer, back problems, kidney issues, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
California Disability Discrimination Law
If you have been affected, you should know that the state of California protects workers from being terminated or retaliated against due to permanent disabilities. Employers are required to engage in an interactive process with a disabled employee, helping him or her work with reasonable accommodations. Employers may help employees find alternative positions or engage in alternative work schedules, as long as the arrangement does not create an undue hardship for the employer, and the employee is suited for the job.
Employees occasionally face disability discrimination for a short-term disability or for the disability of someone they care for. In these cases, the California Medical Leave Act protects their right to take time off. Our Pasadena law firm can handle these claims as well when employers fail to honor this right.
