At Marshall Forman & Schlein LLC, we understand the profound importance of disability rights.

With over 50 years of combined experience in civil rights and employment law, our firm is passionately dedicated to standing up for individuals facing discrimination. If you’ve experienced disability-based mistreatment, we’re here to help you reclaim your rights. 

What Is Disability Discrimination?

Disability discrimination occurs when an employer or workplace treats an employee or applicant unfairly because of a disability. This discrimination can take many forms, such as refusing to hire someone qualified, denying promotions, or creating an unwelcome work environment due to biased attitudes. Federal laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), define a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities, a history of such an impairment or a perception of impairment. 

Examples of workplace disability discrimination include: 

  • Unjust termination or refusal to hire due to a disability. 
  • Denial of reasonable accommodations that would assist in job performance. 
  • Harassment, including offensive jokes or demeaning remarks. 
  • Unequal treatment in pay, benefits or job responsibilities compared to non-disabled colleagues. 

Challenges Disabled Employees Often Face

Disabled employees face unique and considerable obstacles in the workplace. Beyond overt discrimination, there are often barriers to workplace accessibility, such as lack of ramps, inadequate technology or inflexible job policies. Many employees also struggle with stigmas or stereotypes, where others may view them as less competent or incapable of fulfilling their roles. 

This treatment not only creates a hostile work environment but also denies individuals the right to equally participate in their professions. Worse still, victims often feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to confront these injustices or defend themselves against employers who hold more resources and power. 

Legal Protections and How We Can Help

The ADA and similar federal laws exist to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees unless doing so would impose undue hardship on the business. Some examples include making a workplace wheelchair accessible, allowing flexible working hours or providing special equipment or interpreters.
