Disability Discrimination

San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents employees with both physical and mental disabilities who have been discriminated against in the workplace.

Under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and the Texas Labor Code, an employer is prohibited from discriminating against employees because of disability.  Physical disabilities protected by state and federal law include diabetes, epilepsy, HIV or AIDS, visual disorders, hearing impairments, mobility issues, and other disabilities.

Protected mental disabilities include major depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, mania, as well as other mental health impairments.

An employer is required to make reasonable accommodations for an employee with a disability.  Employees who have been fired, denied promotion, demoted, or harassed because of a disability have been discriminated against in violation of state and federal law.

Disability discrimination includes discrimination based on perceived or past disability and is prohibited by both state and federal law. San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents employees who have been discriminated against because they were “regarded as” disabled or had a record of being disabled.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against because of a disability, please submit your disability discrimination claim.
