FAQ

California laws protect you when you have a medical condition that impacts your ability to work. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits employer discrimination based on actual or perceived medical conditions, including firing and other adverse employment actions.

Medical records, along with corroborating testimony, can prove you have or had a disability. However, in cases where discrimination is based on a perceived disability, substantiating employer statements or nonverbal conduct regarding your mental or physical abilities becomes crucial.

Medical Condition Discrimination and Harassment Discrimination on the basis of a medical condition can include any adverse employment action, including failure to hire, termination, failure to promote, paying an employee less than other similar employees and permitting harassment in the workplace.

For example, people are often denied admission to recovery homes because they take medication to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD); or people who need surgery often face denial of health care based on unfounded stigma regarding their health status or substance use, rather than on their pressing medical needs.

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.

Medical Condition Discrimination and Harassment Under FEHA, California employers that have at least five employees are not allowed to discriminate against an employee based on his or her medical condition, among other protected characteristics. FEHA is enforced by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).

You can do that by filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) – a federal organization – or the Department of Fair Employment and Housing – a California organization. Both of these agencies are designed to make the workplace comfortable for all employees.

Persons with disabilities have the same rights as all people to non-discrimination, access, equality of opportunity, inclusion and full participation in society. These are the basic principles underlying the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
