Although state and federal laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees with a disability, injury, or medical condition, these individuals are often the target of discrimination and harassment, and even wrongful termination, in the workplace.
At Caryn Groedel & Associates Co., LPA, we protect the rights of employees throughout northeast Ohio who are being mistreated in the workplace because of their disability. Our attorneys have more than 50 years of combined experience in employment law. We will go the extra mile to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
Cleveland Handicap and FMLA Discrimination Attorneys
There are several laws that protect injured, ill, and disabled workers from discrimination in the workplace, including Ohio state law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act (AADA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If your employer fails to make reasonable accommodations for your disability, retaliates against you for taking time off from work to care for yourself or an immediate family member, requires you to work despite medical restrictions, wrongfully terminates your employment, or otherwise discriminates against you due to your disability or need for time off, you may be able to pursue a claim against your employer.
Our Cleveland disability and FMLA discrimination attorneys represent clients with a wide range of medical conditions, from cancer to work-related injuries. When you come to us for help, advice or because you would like us to represent you, we will take the time to address your concerns and explain your legal rights and options in language you will understand.
We will explore all avenues for justice in your case, including Ohio law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act (AADA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). As skilled trial attorneys, we will not back down. Because we are in the courtroom on a regular basis, we have the experience needed to prevail in your case.
