Employment Law

• Have you been fired for an illegal reason?
• Have you been denied a job or promotion because of your race, age, sex, sexual orientation, or disability?
• Have you been sexually harassed or assaulted at your job?
• Have you not been paid overtime or forced to work off the clock?

If your employer has treated you illegally, you may be able to bring a claim. You deserve compensation for your lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. Punitive damages may also be possible. And if you sue, your employer cannot retaliate in any way, or he or she will be liable for another claim.

In one case, Mr. Adams filed suit over a failure to accommodate for a disability. He represented a teacher's aide who suffered permanent neck and back injuries while rescuing an autistic child. The school district terminated her job because her injuries prevented her from working any further with autistic children. In the lawsuit, Mr. Adams contended that the school district had failed to accommodate his client's disability, by either modifying her job duties or reassigning her to a job in which she could have worked with less challenging children. During trial preparation, he obtained a substantial settlement for his client.
