STROKES IN THE CA WORKPLACE: LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY
A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain functions due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain and can cause permanent neurological damage, complications and death. As the leading cause of adult disability in the US, many CA employees suffer strokes both in and outside of their workplace.
If you are a CA employee who has suffered a stroke, that is no reason for your employer to discriminate against you. If your stroke is a recognized medical disability, then not only can your employer not discriminate against you, but he must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your medical disability. This might include allowing you to take time of work for medical appointments or physical therapy.
If you are a CA employee who has suffered a stroke and you believe that because of your recognized medical disability you have been the victim of medical discrimination at your job, call the skilled legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO). Our experienced employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights.
