Disability Discrimination
Individuals with disabilities are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and by state laws in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Under the ADA employers are: prohibited from firing employees or refusing to hire employees based on disability; prohibited from refusing to promote employees due to a disability; and required to provide reasonable accommodations to disabled people.
Bell & Bell LLP attorneys have successfully handled hundreds of workplace discrimination and harassment cases, many of which included claims of disability discrimination.
Determining whether to pursue a legal claim is an important decision. You should be aware of your rights and prepared to take action if your rights are violated. Bell & Bell LLP offers free initial consultations, and we will take the time necessary to understand your situation and concerns.
