Here are some services that our Englewood, CO disability discrimination lawyers provide:

SSDI filing and appeals - If you work and become disabled, you may have a right to claim Social Security Disability Insurance payments. Unfortunately, the claims process is not always easy. Our attorneys for disability claims in Englewood work to ensure that your claim is successful the first time. We gather the medical documentation that you need and prepare the testimony and arguments for your hearing. Our long-term disability lawyers work to make sure that you get the benefits that you deserve.

SSI claims - Supplemental Security Income may be available to a person who is unable to work because of their age, disability or blindness. The program provides a basic income to pay living expenses when a medical condition prevents you from working for at least one year or is likely to result in death. Medicare may also be available. SSI is means tested, and other income may play a role in your benefits. Our team can handle your claim on your behalf.

Disability discrimination - The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits disrimination against people with disabilities in the workplace. An employer must provide reasonable accommodations for you to complete the job even with a disability. As long as you can perform the essential functions of the job and the accommodation isn’t too costly, you have a right to the accommodation. If an employer refuses to hire you or doesn’t give you a reasonable accommodation, our legal team can help you pursue your rights. We’re passionate about making sure that all individuals exercise their right to a fair workplace.

Some reasonable accommodations for disabilities may include:

• A higher or lower table or countertop to enable you to work
• Modified work hours to attend medical appointments or manage medical conditions
• Screen magnifiers or readers
• Exceptions for training examinations like extra time or completing an oral exam instead of written
• Transferring locations to accommodate medical needs

Most disability accommodations have little or no cost to the employer. The law requires them to make reasonable accommodations where a person can still perform the essential functions of the job. Our team can help you fight for your rights in the workplace.
