Disability Discrimination

Cleveland Disability Discrimination Attorneys

Individuals with disabilities are considered members of a protected class. This means they cannot be fired or discriminated against as a result of their disability without legal consequences. The range of disabilities is vast and includes:

• Cardiac problems

• Cancer

• Diabetes

• Physical immobility

• Mental illness

If you feel that you have been a victim of disability discrimination, you should seek the aid of an experienced, professional attorney who can examine your case. These situations are complex. Emotions are often running high and a variety of issues hang in the balance. You should seek the help of an attorney even if your medical condition does not disable you, but your employer discriminates against you because he or she regards you as disabled.
