New York Disability Discrimination Attorneys
Under New York employment law, it is unlawful to fire an employee because of a disability. It is also unlawful because of an employee’s disability to refuse to promote them or to deny them a raise. It is also unlawful to harass an employee because of a disability. If an employee with a disability requests a reasonable accommodation, an employer has to grant it, unless it causes the employer undue hardship. A reasonable accommodation could be time off for a doctor’s appointment or for rehabilitation. An employee can pursue claims under the Americans With Disabilities Act, a federal law or under The New York State and City Laws. The definition of what constitutes a disability is very broad under the New York State Human Rights Law and under the New York City Human Rights Law. Under these laws, a disability is defined as any “medically diagnosable impairment”. We can discuss which legal strategy is best for you.
The Law Offices of Louis Ginsberg, P.C. have handled numerous cases of disability discrimination. We have been instrumental in helping expand the law in this area. In one case, in which we won a jury verdict, the Court ruled that our client could prove his case without the need for a medical expert. This put more money in our client’s pocket. We have represented clients with the following disabilities: heart attack and stents, cancer, diabetes, brain tumor, stroke, paraplegic, lupus, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and many others.
