Protecting Your Right to Work
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination in the workplace on the basis of disability. Private sector employers that have 15 or more employees must adhere to the ADA. This includes treating workers with disabilities fairly and providing reasonable accommodations that do not cause the employers undue hardship.
The Law Office of Donald D. Zuccarello represents employees who have experienced workplace discrimination based on disability. This is a complex area of law, but our attorneys have the experience to protect your rights through administrative and legal processes. For a free consultation with our Nashville disabled workers lawyers, please call 800-391-4525 or contact us online.
Passed Over for a Job Because of a Disability?
To begin the process of filing a lawsuit against an employer, private sector employees must report disability discrimination to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Tennessee Human Rights Commission (THRC). If you exhaust the administrative processes of either agency, you may take your employer to court.
Our attorneys can represent you at EEOC or THRC hearings and/or mediation. We can also help you:
- Understand your rights under the ADA and state law
- Determine whether you are a qualified disabled employee entitled to accommodation
- Request a reasonable accommodation
- Determine whether an accommodation would be an undue burden on your employer
- Obtain and review medical evidence to support your claim
- Litigate your claim in state or federal court
If you have questions about a disability claim, please contact our office.
