Wrongful Termination After Bodily Injury in California: Key FEHA Protections
📌 Key Takeaways If you were fired soon after a bodily injury, California’s FEHA may protect you. Here’s how to spot the issues and respond wisely: Disability-Based Firing Is Unlawful Under FEHA: Employers may not terminate you because of a physical disability, including temporary injuries that substantially limit major life activities. The Interactive Process Is Mandatory: Once an employer knows about your disability, they must engage in a timely, good-faith dialogue to explore reasonable accommodations rather than dismissing requests. Retaliation Is Prohibited: Penalizing or firing you for requesting accommodations, disclosing a disability, reporting discrimination, or participating in investigations can constitute retaliation under FEHA. Timing, Remarks, and Paper Trails Matter: Close timing to disclosure, discriminatory comments, sudden negative write-ups, and departures from policy may help establish a disability-related motive. Prepared, documented, and advised = stronger protection. For California employees recovering from bodily injuries and wondering whether a sudden termination crossed the line, these insights clarify core protections and what to discuss with an employment attorney. Losing a job after a bodily injury can be devastating. When termination follows soon after an employer learns of a physical disability —especially alongside remarks about health, ignored accommodation requests, or sudden performance write-ups—California’s FEHA may be implicated.

Wrongful Termination Due to Back Injury in California: Recognizing Potential FEHA and ADA Violations
📌 Key Takeaways When your livelihood is on the line, understanding how the law protects you is the first step toward safeguarding your rights. Know the Statutory Protections: California’s FEHA and the federal ADA prohibit disability-based terminations and require reasonable accommodations for qualified employees. Recognize Employer Obligations: Covered employers must engage in a statutorily mandated interactive process to assess and provide appropriate accommodations. Spot Red Flags Early: Sudden termination after disclosing a back injury or requesting accommodations may indicate potential statutory non-compliance. Industry Patterns Matter: Physically demanding sectors such as construction, healthcare, and manufacturing have documented histories of FEHA and ADA violations. Professional Guidance is Essential: Qualified legal counsel can evaluate specific facts, confirm statutory coverage, and determine potential claims. Knowing the legal framework empowers you to identify when your workplace rights may be at risk. In California, wrongful termination due to a back injury may indicate non-compliance with two complementary statutory frameworks—the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code § 12940) and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—when an employer takes an adverse employment action that may be motivated by disability, denies reasonable accommodation, or fails to engage in the statutorily mandated interactive process. Recognition of these potential statutory violations depends on identifying the timing, context, and nature of the employment action in relation to disability status and essential job functions. Laws are subject to change; consult official statutory sources for current language. Statutory Coverage: Recognition, Not Procedure FEHA and the ADA operate together... Read more
