American with Disabilities Act Attorney
An employer has the legal responsibility to provide "reasonable accommodations" to people with disabilities that will enable them to perform the essential functions of their job. In some cases, this may be something as simple as providing an adjustable height worktable, a large screen computer or more time to accomplish a particular task. Nevertheless, some employers fail to make such accommodations for their employees or even attempt to terminate an employee who requires special accommodations.
If your employer has refused to provide reasonable accommodation, or if you have been denied a job, fired or denied a promotion because you have a physical or mental disability, you have rights. You have the ability to claim compensation for your lost earnings, benefits and emotional distress.
At Dunnwald & Peterson, P.A., we are advocates for disabled people whose rights have been denied by employers. We work diligently to obtain compensation and justice for our clients.

If your employer refuses to do so or drags its heels when you inquire about possible accommodations, call Dunnwald & Peterson, P.A. 888-689-7859.
