Do you guys handle wrongful termination due to a medical disability?

Thank you for reaching out. Yes, we handle wrongful termination cases involving medical disabilities. Colorado law and federal law both prohibit employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of disability.

You can book a consultation online with an attorney on our Employment Law Team or call 303-688-0944 to schedule that appointment. During this meeting, we'll review the facts of your case, discuss potential claims, and explain your legal options.

Whether you decide to speak with one of our attorneys or someone else, it’s important that you meet with someone soon to ensure your rights are protected. State and federal laws impose strict deadlines for filing employment discrimination claims, and missing them can permanently bar your claims. 

• Under Colorado law, you generally must file a claim with the Colorado Civil Rights Division within 300 days of the alleged discriminatory practice. 

• Federal claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act follow similar timelines and require filing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If you were a federal employee, different deadlines may apply.

As you plan to meet with an attorney, it can be helpful to gather some information ahead of time so you can make the most of the meeting. For instance, jot down a timeline of events leading to your termination, including the date you were terminated. 

Also, be sure to keep all documents, emails, and other records related to your employment and termination. Do not delete any communications, even if they seem unfavorable. Make copies of any documents in your possession and store them safely.

I hope this helps. Again, you can contact one of our employment law attorneys at 303-688-0944 or schedule a consultation online.
