Dade County Handicap Discrimination Attorney
Employees and applicants who have handicaps and disabilities deserve to have the same opportunities as others who are capable of performing the required work. Fortunately, both federal laws and Florida laws allow for the protection of disabled employees and also prevent against discrimination in the workplace. These laws also protect those who do not have disabilities, but are simply perceived to have disabilities, and are treated poorly as a result.
Don't just sit back if you or someone you love has been discriminated against in the workplace due to a disability or handicap. It is important for you to speak with a lawyer who can explain your rights and your options for pursuing necessary compensation. At the Law Office of William M. Julien, serving the communities of Miami, Boca Raton and south Florida, we have the experience that clients deserve.
Miami Disability Discrimination
Employers are responsible for making reasonable accommodations for workers with genuine disabilities who are otherwise capable of performing the required work. The reasonable accommodations are meant to be worked out between the employer and the employee, and each side is under an obligation to work in good faith toward a mutually acceptable solution.
Disability laws may also entitle injured employees with workers' compensation for protection. Employers may not retaliate against employees who seek disability benefits or additional recovery time.
When an employer is unwilling to accommodate a disability or handicap, or when discrimination occurs, the Law Office of William M. Julien has the ability to litigate disability discrimination claims on behalf of persons all over the state, including Miami.
