Disabilities & Accomodations
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA) provide protections for employees with physical disabilities, medical conditions, and mental disabilities.
If you are an employee and have been the victim of workplace disability discrimination, including your employer’s refusal to provide reasonable accommodations, contact Tustin Employment Attorney Terry K. Davis. Failure to take action in a timely manner could prevent you from obtaining the monetary relief that you may be entitled to receive!

If you believe that you have been the victim of discrimination in the workplace due to a physical disability, medical condition or mental disability, you need to retain a knowledgeable, experienced Disability Discrimination Attorney who will fight for your rights! Tustin Employment Attorney Terry Davis has been devoted to protecting Employees’ Rights since 1993.
Disability is broadly defined within the ADA to include:
- Medical Conditions
- Mental Disabilities
- Physical Disabilities
- Physical Injuries
The FEHA and ADA both mandate that employers are prevented from refusing to hire, promote or provide benefits to individuals because of a disability. They are also prevented from firing an employee on the basis of disability.
Under the ADA’s guidelines, employers must provide reasonable accommodations for their disabled employees, as long as such accommodations do not cause the employer undue hardship. Reasonable Accommodations include but are not limited to:
- Making the facilities accessible for disabled employees
- Acquiring or modifying existing equipment for use by disabled employees
- Allowing time off for medical treatment
Disability and accommodation violation cases can become highly complex, especially with respect to successfully demonstrating that your employer failed to provide reasonable accommodations. Tustin Employment Attorney Terry K. Davis has been helping plaintiff employees obtain high dollar judgments against employers who have violated the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act for over 30 years. Let Attorney Terry Davis put his experience to work for you.
