Disability Discrimination
Milwaukee Disability Discrimination Attorneys
Wisconsin Employment Lawyers
Although the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed in 1990, there is still confusion among employers and employees about the rights of people with disabilities or perceived disabilities. Contact a Milwaukee disability discrimination lawyer today.
Employers need to know that they are generally required to accommodate persons with disabilities. The ADA and state law apply to hiring, promotion, compensation, termination and other working conditions.
Employees often do not realize they have rights under the ADA, the Family Medical Leave Act, Workers Compensation and other provisions that protect them. The ADA includes both mental and physical disabilities and covers those who are perceived as being disabled as well as those whose life functions are affected by their medical condition.
That is why you should speak with a law firm that handles more than just Workers Compensation and personal injury work.
A typical case scenario might involve an employee with a heart condition. The employer might either insist they not do some aspect of their employment that they actually can do, or insist that they do, endangering the person.
In either case, please contact a Milwaukee disability discrimination lawyer to learn how the law can protect you. If you want to work, and do the kind of work you want, or need benefits because you can't work, we can help.
We tailor our services to you and your situation. For information on how we can best serve your needs, call a Milwaukee disability discrimination lawyer at 414-224-0000, or contact us online.
