FAQ
The ADA only prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. It makes it unlawful to refuse to hire a qualified applicant with a disability because he is disabled or because a reasonable accommodation is required to make it possible for this person to perform essential job functions.
Employers in California must provide reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants with a disability. Qualified applicants who are not given reasonable accommodations as required by state and federal law can file a lawsuit against the employer for damages.
Under the Act, a plaintiff is required to present evidence that he or she (1) suffers from a disability, (2) is a qualified individual, and (3) was subjected to an adverse employment action because of the disability.
There are two options for filing an ADA complaint: Online. File a complaint by submitting a report on the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division website. Mail. Fill out and send the paper ADA Complaint Form (Regular Format | Large Format) or a letter containing the same information, to: U.S. Department of Justice.
Short answer: The average disability discrimination settlement in California is approximately $40,000 – $150,000 with the median settlement around $75,000. Settlements in less complex cases often settle below approximately $40,000 or lower and complex cases can surpass approximately $1,000,000.

If you have a disability and are qualified to do a job, the ADA protects you from job discrimination on the basis of your disability. Under the ADA , you have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.
In general, to be entitled to an accommodation under the ADA, you must work for an employer with 15 or more employees (or a state or local government), you must be a person with a disability as defined in the ADA, and you must need the accommodation because of your disability.
