Fired for a Disability? Understand Your Workplace Rights

Our experienced employment attorneys have helped countless workers stand up against disability discrimination, secure accommodations, and protect their careers.
 

Minnesota provides some of the most comprehensive protections for employees with disabilities. If you’ve faced unfair treatment at work because of your disability, you may have legal options. At Wanta Thome, we help workers challenge employers who fail to provide accommodations, engage in discriminatory practices, or violate their rights.

Did your employer deny your request for accommodations? Were you treated unfairly or punished because of your disability? These issues can have a significant impact—and we’re here to help you take action.

Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations and cannot discriminate based on an employee’s disability. 
Your career and livelihood shouldn’t be at risk because an employer failed to meet their legal obligations or respect your rights.
