Protecting Employees from Workplace Bias and Unfair Treatment

Employees with disabilities have the legal right to fair treatment, reasonable accommodations, and equal employment opportunities. Unfortunately, many employers engage in disability discrimination, denying job opportunities, workplace accommodations, promotions, or fair treatment to employees with disabilities.

At Ratliff Jackson LLP, our Employment Law Attorneys aggressively fight for employees who face disability discrimination in hiring, promotions, workplace policies, or wrongful termination. If your employer has denied you accommodations, harassed you because of a disability, or retaliated against you for requesting disability rights, we can take legal action to hold them accountable.

Why You Need Attorneys for Disability Discrimination Claims

Disability discrimination cases often involve complex federal and state laws, requiring employees to prove bias, request accommodations correctly, and navigate employer retaliation risks. Without legal representation, employees face:

• Wrongful Termination Due to Disability – Employers sometimes fire or demote employees after disclosing a disability or requesting accommodations.
• Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodations – Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employers must provide reasonable adjustments to help employees perform their jobs.
• Hostile Work Environments and Harassment – Some employees face workplace bullying, retaliation, or mistreatment due to their disability.
• Discriminatory Hiring and Promotion Practices – Employers cannot refuse to hire, promote, or pay fairly based on a disability.
• Retaliation for Requesting Disability Rights – Some employers punish employees for filing complaints or requesting accommodations.

Our Attorneys fight for employees to ensure that workplace disability rights are enforced and that employers follow federal and state discrimination laws.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What qualifies as disability discrimination in the workplace?

Disability discrimination occurs when an employer:

• Refuses to provide reasonable accommodations.
• Fires or demotes an employee due to a disability.
• Fails to hire or promote a qualified disabled employee.
• Subjects an employee to workplace harassment or mistreatment.

What are reasonable accommodations under the ADA?

Employers must provide reasonable workplace adjustments such as:

• Modified work schedules or remote work options.
• Assistive technology or adaptive equipment.
• Reassignment to a different job role if necessary.

Employers can only deny accommodations if they prove that it causes undue hardship on business operations.

Can my employer fire me for having a disability?

No. Firing an employee based solely on a disability is illegal under the ADA and other federal laws. If you were terminated after:

• Disclosing a disability.
• Requesting workplace accommodations.
• Filing a discrimination complaint.
  You may have a wrongful termination case.

What should I do if my employer refuses to accommodate my disability?

• Document your request and employer’s response.
• File a formal complaint with HR.
• Consult an Employment Law Attorney for legal action.

How long do I have to file a disability discrimination claim?

• Under the ADA, employees must file a complaint with the EEOC within 180 days of the discriminatory act.
• Some states have longer filing deadlines.

An Attorney can review your case and ensure deadlines are met.
