Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

1 Answer from Attorneys
Your situation may give rise to a discrimination claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act or under equivalent state law. You should call an employment discrimination lawyer who handles claims for employees. These claims were very difficult and Congress recently amended the ADA to try to make the claims easier. Whether a discrimination lawyer would be interested in your case will depend on the particuliar facts of your case.
If your restrictions are work related, you should also contact a workers compensation lawyer. You might have a claim for wage loss benefits.
Both kinds of lawyers ordinarily provide free consultations. They will often talk to you initially over the phone, without the need to make an office appointment.
