DID YOU RECENTLY LOSE YOUR JOB BECAUSE YOU ARE HEARING IMPAIRED? IF SO, STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND CALL SILICON VALLEY DISCRIMINATION LAWYERS FOR HELP.
Just recently a disability discrimination lawsuit was settled for $100,000. A hearing-impaired operating room scrub technician was fired after being employed with a hospital for over 6 years. The former employee was fired after doctor’s complained she could not hear their instructions. However, the employee asserts that she would have been able to hear if they did not play loud music in the operating room.
If your boss has also treated you less favorably because of your hearing impairment, you may have an employment claim. Your boss is prohibited from discriminating against you based on your hearing disability under both California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. In order for you to be able to bring a claim under either the ADA or FEHA, you must be able to show that you are a “qualified individual with a disability.” This means that you must be able to do your job with or without a reasonable accommodation.
If you think you are a qualified individual with a disability and if you have been fired or demoted because of your disability, you may be able to sue.
