Maryland Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Gaithersburg Americans With Disabilities Act Violations Lawyer

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) prohibits an employer from discriminating based on a disability. If your manager or supervisor treats you differently because of your disability, we encourage you to contact our firm immediately.

The most important thing you can do if you feel your employer is treating you differently than other employees is to keep a detailed and accurate record. Record the time and date of any situation, comment or communication that might strengthen your case. If you create this record, it will go a long way in helping the Maryland disability discrimination attorneys at the law office of Kathlynne Ramirez, Esq. LLC.

The ADA requires that employers make reasonable accommodations in order to ensure that the employee can perform the essential functions of their job. A request for a reasonable accommodation does not have to be done formally, but it is much better if the request and response are in writing. If you are requesting special equipment, a change in schedule or requesting to work from home, you have the option of communicating with your employer orally or through more formal channels. You can certainly strengthen your case if all of your records and communication are in writing.

Guiding You Through Complex Matters

Many of the government's protections work together. For example, if a hostile work environment has caused a disability such as depression, you can request time off. Depending on a medical professional's determination about the severity of your ailment or the length of time needed for treatment, you may or may not be protected by the ADA. However, if you and your employer meet the FMLA requirements, you are allowed to take time off to recover. It is important to contact a knowledgeable attorney who can provide legal advice and guidance in your unique situation.
