In the past, the word “disability” often was thought only to refer to physical circumstances—one that, at least for the most part, was visible for the world to see.

While this definition of disability still rings true today, it has also broadened considerably, including less immediately apparent conditions.  The law has also similarly grown and adapted to protect a broader spectrum of individuals with disabilities, especially in the world of employment. 

Both the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) require most employers to provide what are known as “reasonable accommodations” to allow qualifying individuals with disabilities to fully take part in the workplace.  Employers who fail to comply with the law may be held liable or otherwise subject to legal action.

Here is a list of some questions an individual with disabilities might have when considering his or her right to reasonable accommodations in the workplace:

Q: When do I have a right to a reasonable accommodation?

Q: What does it mean for an employer to reasonably accommodate me and my disability?

Q: What are examples of reasonable accommodations?

Q: Do I qualify for reasonable accommodations?

Q: What if I’m looking for a new job or moving to a new workplace?

Q: Who is required by law to provide reasonable accommodations?

Q: What do I have to do to obtain reasonable accommodations?

Q: What is the “interactive process”?

Q: When can employer decline to provide accommodations for my disability?

Q: What can I do if an employer does not provide me with reasonable accommodations when it is required to do so?

If at any point you have questions about disabilities, medical conditions, potential accommodations, or feel that your rights to reasonable accommodations have been violated, feel free to contact us at (323) 693-8490 for further information.

TESTIMONIALS

Customer Reviews

This law firm was extremely helpful and successful in my case. In a matter of 7 months they were able to settle my case! Joshua, Ariella, Vedang, and Iona were my attorneys and Aaron were extremely helpful in my case, always responsive and helped with any questions I had about my case. I was turned down by a few other law firms but this law firm took me seriously and won! I’m very satisfied with all of their services.

They will always answer your calls and call you with updates to keep you informed. I had the pleasure of working with many of them and they are all great individuals. Bibiyan Law Group won two of the two cases I had with them and I’m pretty happy with them. I would recommend you give them a call.

Super nice people. I opened a case with them and it took a while like most cases do but they made it very easy for me. I basically just told them what happened and they handled everything until the case closed while updating me in between and answering questions if I had any. Thank you!

Bibiyan Law Group was by far a great choice to make for my wrongful termination lawsuit. They kept me in the loop with all the details and supported me along the way until I received my settlement. Thank you for everything. Would recommend!
