Facing disability discrimination can be an overwhelming and distressing experience. Whether in the workplace, in education, or when accessing goods and services, you have the right to fair treatment under the law. At The Law Firm Group, our experienced UK solicitors offer practical and sensitive legal advice to help you challenge disability discrimination and secure the justice you deserve.
Understanding Disability Discrimination
Disability discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly or put at a disadvantage because of a disability. The Equality Act 2010 provides protection for individuals against several forms of discrimination, including direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimisation related to disability. Our specialist solicitors are well-versed in this complex area of law and can guide you through your rights and options.
Common Situations Where Disability Discrimination Arises
Clients approach The Law Firm Group for expert legal advice in a variety of circumstances. You may have experienced:
- Dismissal or redundancy due to a disability or long-term health condition
- Failure by an employer to make reasonable adjustments at work
- Unfair treatment or harassment by colleagues or management
- Barriers when accessing public services, shops, or facilities
- Discrimination in schools, colleges, or universities
No matter the situation, our solicitors are committed to standing by your side, ensuring your rights are protected at every stage.
