DISABILITY RIGHTS
State and Federal laws protect not only those who have a disability, but also those who have a record of a disability, or are regarded as having a disability, or are associated with others who have a disability....
Disability Rights is a broad area of law that is
concerned with the rights
of individuals with real (or perceived) disabilities.
Individuals with disabilities have certain
rights under Federal law and 
ections 501 and 504
of the Rehabilitation Act, and the New Jersey
Law Against Discrimination (LAD).
Matthew Stoloff, Esq. writes extensively on disability law and disability discrimination on his blog.
Contact us for a consultation if you believe that your employer has discriminated against you on the basis of your disability or if you have been denied reasonable accommodation at a place of public accommodation (e.g., museum, restaurant, transportation services, school, doctor’s office).
As of mid-2009, the impact and the courts' understanding of the recently enacted Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) remains to be seen. However, it is clear that the language and spirit of the ADAAA seeks to effectively overturn the Supreme Court's extremely narrow interpretation of the original ADA. This means that more people will be considered to have disabilities under the ADAAA, and such disabled persons may win cases that they could not otherwise have won prior to the enactment of the ADAAA.
Even if you do not have a disability, you are invited to contact us if you have been discriminated against because you have been regarded as having a disability or because you have been associated with others who have disabilities.
