Disability Discrimination Law In Los Angeles
Workers with physical or mental disabilities are afforded extensive rights under California and federal law. Discriminating against an employee because of a handicap is prohibited. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal statute that forbids workplace discrimination based on a person’s handicap.

The Fair Housing and Employment Act is the name of the statute in California. The FEHA provides California workers with even more protection than the ADA when it comes to handicap discrimination.
