New York City Disability Discrimination Lawyers
There are laws to protect those with disabilities in the workplace. And yet, many employees with disabilities still experience disability discrimination in the workplace. At the New York City law firm of Raff & Becker, LLP, we stand up for the rights of workers who experience disability discrimination. With more than 40 years of experience handling employment law related matters, we can fight for your right to reasonable accommodation and fair treatment under Federal, State and local laws.
Protecting Right to Work
Disability laws protect employees who may need special accommodation following a serious injury or illness. What many do not know is that the law can also protect their rights if they have other qualifying conditions, including mental disorders such as bipolar disorder or clinical depression, recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, or pregnancy, among others.
If your employer has not accommodated your disability, or you have experienced retaliation due to reporting disability discrimination, we can help you explore your options.
Our attorneys have extensive experience pursuing discrimination and retaliation claims before the proper authorities, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the New York State Division of Human Rights and the New York City Commission on Human Rights. We will analyze your case to determine the appropriate legal avenues for your case, and guide you throughout the entire process.
Recent legislation enacted in New York City seeks to provide further protection for employees with disabilities. If you work in New York City, you could be entitled to additional protection under the New York City Human Rights Law, even if your condition does not meet Federal or State disability discrimination standards.
