Has an Employer Discriminated Against You for Medical Reasons?
Have you been demoted, denied a raise, or terminated from your employment in California because of a medical condition?

You may believe your employer’s actions have been wrong but feel unsure of your rights and available legal remedies.

We are here to advise you and pursue justice for you if your employer has discriminated against you unfairly because of your medical condition.
What Does Medical Condition Discrimination Look Like?
According to the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) in California, illegal discrimination on the basis of a medical condition may include adverse actions by your employer such as:
- Termination based on your medical condition
- Failing to promote you or paying you less than other similar employees without your medical condition
- Allowing fellow employees to harass you because of your condition
Your medical condition may overlap with a disability. For example, your employer may be required to offer you reasonable accommodations if, after an injury, you struggle with lingering disabling effects. Depending on circumstances, you and your job may be legally protected by the Americans with Disability Act (ADA).
