Disability Discrimination

Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel

California Disability Discrimination Attorneys

Disabled Workers • Injured Employees • Failure to Make Reasonable Accommodations

According to provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is illegal for employers to refuse to make reasonable accommodation for employees’ disabilities. If your California employer has refused to promote you because of an injury or handicap, contact Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel to schedule a consultation.

Disability discrimination is often considered to encompass such areas of the law as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), pregnancy discrimination, discrimination against employees who have been injured at work or in auto accidents, and failure of employers to provide adequate handicap accommodations.
