Harrisburg Attorneys Assisting Clients with Americans with Disabilities Act & Other Employment Discrimination Claims
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, state and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications.
To be protected by the ADA, you must have a disability or have a relationship or association with an individual with a disability. An individual with a disability is defined by the ADA as a person who:
- Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities
- Has a history or record of such an impairment, or
- Is perceived by others as having such an impairment.
The ADA does not specifically name all of the impairments that are covered. Title I of the ADA prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. Under the ADA, an employer may not ask a job applicant if he or she has a disability, or the type or seriousness of the disability.
In addition to employment claims, the ADA also prohibits other conduct. As a result, you may also have a claim under the ADA if you have been denied access to public accommodations, public transportation or telecommunications because of your disability.
At Daley Zucker, we regularly represent individuals with ADA and other discrimination claims and also defend employers in ADA and employment discrimination cases. If you think your rights under the ADA may have been violated or have had an ADA claim, call the attorneys at Daley Zucker, who will answer your questions, analyze your claim, and make certain that you receive all of the protections to which you are entitled under the ADA.
