In addition to regulations under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing offers workers with disabilities protections and rights to ensure fair treatment in the workplace. If these rights are violated, you may be entitled to significant compensation for disability discrimination.
At the Law Offices of Thomas Hoegh, we seek to enforce workers' rights and help injured employees return to work as soon as possible. When you work with our firm, we have two goals:
- We seek to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve to pay for any medical treatment and recovery. Our lawyer and professionals will help you file a workers' compensation claim and identify any other benefits you may be entitled to, such as short- or long-term disability benefits, Social Security Disability or disability retirement benefits.
- We will fight to protect your job security. If your employer fails to provide reasonable accommodation during your recovery or upon your return to work, or you are let go because of your disability, we can help you file a claim with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing for disability discrimination. If you can no longer perform the essential duties of your job, we can help you protect your right to disability retirement benefits or fair compensation for the loss of your employment.
We have represented employees in Los Angeles and surrounding communities in the San Fernando Valley since 1985. Our experience includes defending not only the rights of injured workers but also the rights of those who may need to take an extended leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for a sick family member, those who are pregnant and must take maternity leave, and others in unique situations.
Los Angeles Attorney Against Wrongful Termination Due to Disability
By law, employers are required to take necessary steps to accommodate an injured or disabled employee. Unfortunately, however, many employers view such workers as a liability rather than an asset, even though the employee may still be able to perform the essential duties and tasks of their job.
If you have suffered wrongful termination due to a disability or medical condition, we will fight for your rights. Taking a coordinated approach, we will identify all your potential claims and use each to strengthen the others to ensure you receive the full compensation to which you are entitled.
