Disability rights laws protect workers with physical or mental impairments from discrimination and require employers to provide reasonable accommodations so they can do their jobs. Key laws include the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and similar state statutes.

Common disability-related workplace issues include:

1. Requests for modified schedules or duties
2. Need for assistive devices or remote work options
3. Medical leave and return-to-work plans
4. Harassment or unequal treatment because of a disability

• Employer refusals to consider or grant reasonable accommodations
• Retaliation for requesting accommodations or taking medical leave
• Unlawful termination or demotion after a diagnosis or injury
• Questions about whether a condition qualifies as a disability
• Breakdowns in the 'interactive process' required by law

Employment attorneys represent workers in a range of disability-related matters, such as:

• Failure-to-accommodate claims
• Discriminatory termination or discipline based on disability
• Harassment or hostile work environment cases
• Claims involving medical leave under the FMLA or similar laws

You may need a lawyer if your employer refuses reasonable accommodations, punishes you for taking leave, or treats you unfairly after learning of your condition. Legal advice can help you protect your job and benefits.

• Your accommodation requests are ignored or denied without explanation
• You were fired or demoted after disclosing a disability
