Palm Beach County Handicap Discrimination Attorney
Federal laws and employment laws in the state of Florida protect employees with disabilities and handicaps from discrimination in the workplace. This discrimination includes harassment, wrongful termination and the failure to provide reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities or for those who are perceived to have disabilities.
If you have been discriminated against in the workplace due to a disability or handicap, it is important for you to know your rights and your options for pursuing compensation. At the Law Office of William M. Julien, in Boca Raton and serving the communities of Palm Beach and throughout south Florida, we have helped clients protect their rights after workplace discrimination, and have recovered significant verdicts and settlements for our clients.
West Palm Disability Discrimination Lawyer
Most of our clients have been fired for what are stated to be performance-related reasons, but that very often turns out to be prohibited discrimination on the basis of a disability or a handicap. Our skill with the investigation and presentation of detailed evidence, that both establishes liability against the employer and proves the amount of your damages, can help you recover from both the economic loss and the humiliation of discriminatory practices in the workplace.
We also handle workplace rights cases involving pregnancy leave, leave for personal or family illness, or retaliation for filing workers' compensation claims. We discover many of these situations while advising clients whose applications for unemployment benefits are opposed by the employer.
