Maryland Attorneys For Disability Discrimination And Failure To Accommodate
You made one reasonable request to keep doing your job. Your employer ignored you or punished you for it. At Randle & Randle Attorneys At Law, LLC, our Greenbelt disability discrimination attorneys understand this moment deeply. We have stood beside workers in Prince George’s County since 1986. We believe every person carries God-given dignity and deserves justice.
What Is A Reasonable Accommodation Under Maryland Employment Law?
Both Maryland law and the Americans with Disabilities Act require covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with qualifying disabilities. A reasonable accommodation is any adjustment to how you work or where you work that allows you to perform your essential duties. Employers may violate the law when they ignore remote work requests, refuse schedule adjustments or deny assistive tools without genuine consideration.
Not every denial looks obvious. Common accommodations employers wrongfully deny include:
- Modified work schedules or telework: Refusing remote work or flexible hours for medical care
- Job restructuring and duty reassignment: Declining to shift nonessential duties or reassign you to a vacant role
- Equipment and environmental modifications: Denying specialized software, ergonomic tools or accessible workspaces
- Unpaid medical leave: Disciplining or terminating you for necessary leave beyond FMLA
Any of these wrongful denials may support a legal claim under Maryland or federal law.
Your Employer’s Legal Duty When You Request An Accommodation
Federal and Maryland law require your employer to engage in good-faith dialogue when you request an accommodation. Your employer has a legal duty to hold real conversations, consider your medical needs and work toward a solution. Red flags that your employer violated this duty include:
- Ignoring your request
- Stalling without explanation
- Refusing every alternative
- Retaliating after you disclosed your disability
Our attorneys identify these violations and build compelling cases from them.
