Los Angeles American with Disabilities Act Lawyer
Representing Working Clients With Disabilities
Employers have a legal obligation to abide by the guidelines and regulations set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This requires them to provide workplace accommodations and other services in order to aid an employee in performing his or her job to the best of their ability.
At Rutten Law Group, we are committed to standing up for employees with disabilities. We are fluent in the language of the ADA and other laws that govern the ways in which individuals with disabilities are to be accommodated and treated in the workplace.
- Recently, there have been changed made to the ADA that has expanded the definitions that are applied to disabilities. A condition that was previously not considered a disability may now be covered by the ADA. A member of our firm can advise you if your medical issues are considered disabilities and are subject to protection by the ADA and other employment laws.
Workplace Accommodations
Employers are expected to provide reasonable and adequate accommodations for employees with disabilities. This can range from adjusting the height of a desk to providing technology that allows an employee to better see or hear in the office. There are also federally mandated accommodations, such as having ramps, aisles be a certain width or having handicap-accessible restrooms.
