Disability Discrimination

Milford, Connecticut, Lawyers Fighting Against Disability Discrimination

Until the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it was very easy for employers to make excuses for not hiring the physically disabled. While our country has made significant progress since the passing of the ADA, there is still room for improvement.

Perhaps because of lingering stigma, personal bias or a lack of education, some employers feel it is still acceptable to discriminate against, harass or unjustly terminate disabled workers. This is wrong and this is illegal. If your employer discriminated against you in any employment practice (hiring, demotion, termination, etc.) on the basis of your disability, you have the right to take legal action.

Protect Your Right to Obtain and Maintain Employment

The Pantuso Law Firm, LLC, in Milford, Connecticut, aggressively protects the right of disabled workers to attain and sustain employment. Employment law attorneys Tony Pantuso and Jessica Boudreau do not represent employers. Rather, they devote their entire practice to representing employees facing discrimination. Contact us to speak with a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer.

Please note, you do not necessarily have to be disabled to be the victim of disability discrimination. If your employer merely perceives you to be disabled, you may be victimized by employment discrimination.

Who May Be Considered Disabled?

According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a person may be classified as disabled if they have a documented "physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities."

Receiving Reasonable Accommodations

Disabled workers can expect their employers to provide reasonable accommodations that allow them to perform essential job functions. If your reasonable request for such accommodations has been denied, the law may have been broken. We can help you determine if your employer failed to adequately accommodate your disability.
