Washington State and Federal Legal Resources
Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA): Our ADA Lawyers regularly take cases for other ADA violations, such as failure to hire, firing, or disparate treatment of those with disabilities. If you request a reasonable accommodation, your employer must work with you to come up with a solution that allows you to continue working. But few employers know the law in this area, and many others refuse to follow it.
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA): FMLA violations can include ignoring leave requests, declaring a medical certification insufficient, asking an employee to work while on FMLA, including FMLA leave in a count of absences, and failure to act in good faith. If you believe your employer may have violated your rights under the FMLA, call us for a Free Case Review with an experienced Intake Specialist and learn how we may be able to help. No fee unless we recover for you.
Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA): The Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) works to provide safe working environments and enforces health and safety regulations in workplaces across the U.S. Every American employer, worker, and manufacturer is required to observe OSHA rules. When OSHA codes are ignored, the result can be dangerous — and sometimes fatal. Affected workers deserve compensation but are often unaware that OSHA violations led to their injury. An experienced OSHA attorney will work with industry experts to determine this.
Silenced No More Act: The Silenced No More Act (HB1795) prevents Washington state businesses from imposing NDAs that prevent workers from discussing “illegal acts of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage and hour violations, and sexual assault.” The law expands previous Washington state law that prohibited employers from making employees sign NDAs in regard to sexual harassment or assault cases.
