What if you are discriminated against because of your disability? What can you expect in such a situation? A Disability Discrimination Lawyer Brooklyn Nyc will help you resolve these and many other questions. Let’s use a specific example:

Holly J. has a chronic illness that requires her to undergo medical procedures once a week during the working day. She provided her boss all relevant documents. Her boss told her that she needed to take sick leave for this, and when the sick days were over, she would be fired. That indeed happened: when her sick days were over, Holly was fired.

The Persons with Disabilities Act allows reasonable breaks during working hours, such as taking medication. The employer was initially notified of Holly’s health state. After analyzing and working with all the facts and evidence, Holly’s lawyers got her reinstated in office and compensated for the missing days.
