Termination Based on Disability Is Illegal

In California, it is unlawful for an employer to fire an employee based on a physical or mental disability, medical condition, or perceived disability. Both the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protect qualified employees from discriminatory termination.

A termination may be wrongful if it occurs:

After disclosing a disability
After requesting a reasonable accommodation

While on medical leave or shortly after returning
In retaliation for filing a complaint or asserting your rights

At Falakassa Law, we help clients prove when a disability was a motivating factor in their termination—and pursue justice when employers break the law.

Signs of Disability-Related Wrongful Termination

Employers rarely admit to terminating someone because of a disability. Instead, they may fabricate performance issues or use vague reasons like “restructuring.” Recognizing the warning signs is critical.

Potential red flags include:

Termination shortly after a disability disclosure
Denial of accommodations followed by sudden discipline
Lack of progressive discipline or written warnings
Replacement by someone without a disability
Documentation that contradicts the employer’s stated reasons
Negative comments about your medical condition

If you suspect your termination was tied to your disability or medical condition, you may have grounds for a claim.
