New York City Americans With Disabilities Act Lawyer: Fighting Disability Discrimination for All New

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities. This includes discrimination in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. Since its enactment in 1990, the ADA has played a crucial role in enabling millions of Americans living with disabilities to enter or remain in the workforce by removing physical barriers and instituting robust workplace protections.

Understanding ADA Compliance and Employer Obligations

Not all employers comply with the ADA as they should. Some may unintentionally misapply the law, while others deliberately avoid hiring or retaining employees with disabilities, masking their discriminatory intent. When such instances occur, the New York City ADA lawyers at Mansell Law step in to fight for the affected workers. Our attorneys ensure full enforcement of ADA protections, holding employers accountable for their actions. If you have experienced unlawful disability discrimination, contact Mansell Law for dedicated legal support.

Which Employees Are Covered Under the ADA?

The ADA applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments, as well as employment agencies and labor organizations. The law protects a “qualified individual with a disability,” defined as someone capable of performing the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation. A disability under the ADA includes:

A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.

A history or record of such an impairment.

Being regarded as or perceived as having such an impairment.

You don’t need to have a disability to be protected under ADA. Specific terms like “essential job functions,” “reasonable accommodation,” “substantially limits,” and “major life activities” have legal interpretations that our experienced ADA attorneys at Mansell Law can help you navigate.

What Types of Discrimination Are Prohibited?

The ADA comprehensively prohibits discrimination in many aspects of employment, including:

Application procedures

Hiring and firing

Advancement

Compensation

Job training

Other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment

Adverse or differential treatment based on an individual’s disability in any of these areas constitutes unlawful discrimination. Employers may also violate the ADA by:

Denying FMLA leave for a serious health condition that qualifies as a disability.

Refusing to provide reasonable accommodation.

Retaliating against individuals for exercising their ADA rights or filing complaints.

How to File an ADA Discrimination Claim

To sue your employer for ADA violations, you must first file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC may pursue the case or issue a “right to sue letter,” allowing you to file a lawsuit. Possible remedies include reinstatement with back pay, hiring, reasonable accommodation, cessation of discriminatory practices, and monetary damages for financial losses, mental anguish, and punitive damages. You may also file a complaint with the New York City Human Rights Commission or the New York Division of Human Rights.

At Mansell Law, our ADA attorneys will guide you through the complaint process and zealously represent your interests, whether before your employer, a government agency, or in court.

Wow……. @vp @kamalaharris dinner.

Note: I now recognize that the variations "wimmin" and "womyn" were founded by and are used by TWERFs (trans women exclusionary radical feminists). Trans womxn as just as womxn as cis womxn. End of Note. Credit: "Cissexism in Brevard County" by Tena Gordon (@reformistrevolutionaryrose), a student at Eastern Florida State College. End of Credit. Part 1: My Social Issue My social issue is about cissexism in Brevard County. Cissexism is a system, as shown by a pattern of laws, events, and circumstances, in the past and current, that negatively impacts transgender groups, denying them opportunities afforded to cisgender groups. Cissexism includes microaggressions (subtle instances of discrimination) such as gendering fetuses, and blatant hate, such as street harassing transgender wimmin (feminist spelling of women). According to Gina Duncan, a transgender womyn (feminist spelling of woman) and the director of Equality Florida’s transinclusion committee, in Brevard County, transgender beings can legally be denied housing, fired from jobs, be refused services at private businesses, and harassed in public restrooms for their gender identity (Moody, 2016). No county-wide policy addresses anti-transgender violence, and no city councils in Brevard County have included gender identity in their nondiscrimination ordinances. However, according to Equality Florida, a queer (gay and transgender) advocacy group, 42 cities and counties in Florida protect gender identity (Neale, 2016). End of Part 1.

Workplace bullying is growing and many businesses don't have a policy in place to address the issue. Harassed employees can develop anxiety, panic attacks and avoiding behaviors that decrease their effectiveness which is bad for business.
