Discrimination based on disability is unfair, harmful, and unlawful. With Mizrahi Kroub by your side, you can fight back and ensure your rights are upheld. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help. Have you ever felt overlooked or excluded at work because of a disability? Maybe you were denied accommodations that would have made your job manageable, or your contributions were dismissed because of harmful assumptions about your abilities. What if a promotion you worked hard for went to someone else, despite your qualifications, because your employer didn’t believe in you? At Mizrahi Kroub, we stand up for individuals with disabilities who have been mistreated in the workplace. Disability discrimination undermines equality and violates federal and state laws. Our experienced attorneys are here to help you understand your rights, hold employers accountable, and seek the justice and compensation you deserve.
Disability discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant is treated unfairly because of a physical or mental disability. Employers are also required by law to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities unless doing so causes undue hardship.
Examples of disability discrimination include:
In New York, employees are protected by both federal and state laws:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): A federal law prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all aspects of employment, including hiring, pay, promotions, and terminations.
The New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL): Provides even broader protections for individuals with disabilities and requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations.
These laws apply to most employers and cover both current employees and job applicants.
Disability discrimination can take a heavy toll on your professional and personal life, including:

A disability can include physical, medical, mental, or emotional conditions that limit major life activities such as walking, working, or learning. Under the New York State Human Rights Law and the ADA, an attorney for disability discrimination can help determine if your condition qualifies for legal protection.
A reasonable accommodation is a change at work that helps an employee with a disability perform essential job duties. Examples include modified schedules, assistive technology, or adjusted responsibilities. A disability discrimination attorney in New York can explain your rights and help secure fair workplace accommodations if your employer refuses.
If your employer refuses a reasonable change for a medical or mental condition, keep written records of the denial and any conversations. This could involve FMLA violations or other unlawful practices. Speaking with an ADA attorney or an employment lawyer can help you understand your rights and next steps.
Employers cannot lawfully punish workers for reporting bias or requesting medical leave. Retaliation—like demotion or termination—may violate laws such as the ADA or state rules. If you’ve faced consequences after speaking up, an employment discrimination lawyer can review your case and advise whether FMLA violations or other claims apply.
Employees harmed by disability discrimination may recover back pay, lost benefits, emotional distress damages, and sometimes punitive awards. Courts can also require job reinstatement or policy changes. A disability discrimination attorney or workplace harassment lawyer can evaluate your claim and pursue the remedies you’re entitled to under New York law.
You generally don’t need to share medical details unless you request a reasonable accommodation. Forcing disclosure or using it against you can violate the New York State Human Rights Law. If you’ve faced pressure or retaliation, an ADA attorney near you can explain more about your legal protections.
Employers must provide reasonable accommodations unless they can prove an “undue hardship.” Cost alone isn’t always enough to deny your request. If your employer refuses based on expense, an ADA attorney or disability discrimination lawyer in New York can review your case and protect your rights.
In New York, most ADA complaints must be filed with the EEOC within 300 days of the discriminatory act. Some cases may also go through state agencies. An ADA lawyer or disability discrimination attorney can help you meet deadlines and protect your workplace rights.
Yes. You don’t have to quit or be fired to challenge unfair treatment. If you face workplace harassment, retaliation, or age or disability bias, you can still file a complaint. An employment discrimination lawyer or workplace retaliation attorney in New York can guide your next steps.
Yes. Ongoing jokes, insults, or unfair treatment based on a disability can be workplace harassment, which is a form of unlawful discrimination under the ADA and New York law. A disability discrimination attorney or employment lawyer can help you understand your rights and take action.
