ADA & Disability Discrimination Lawyers
When you're living with a disability—whether it’s from an illness, an injury, or a chronic condition—you shouldn't have to worry about being treated unfairly at work. Unfortunately, disability discrimination happens far too often. At Hammons, Hurst & Associates, we’re here to help if you’ve been mistreated on the basis of disability at your job.
From our law office in Oklahoma City, our experienced disability discrimination attorneys help workers understand their rights and fight for fair treatment. Whether you’ve been denied accommodations, harassed because of your condition, or wrongfully terminated, we offer the ADA legal help you need.
How the ADA Protects You
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that protects the rights of workers with disabilities. It applies to any company with 15 or more employees and aims to stop discrimination against people with medical conditions or impairments that substantially limit a major life activity, like walking, hearing, or working.
The ADA requires employers to make reasonable accommodation including schedule changes, adjusted duties, or accessible equipment—whatever is needed to help you perform your job. Your employer must provide these accommodations unless doing so would cause a significant burden.
If your employer refuses to help, retaliates after a request, or treats you differently than other employees, you may have a valid employment discrimination case under federal law.
Learn more about your rights by reviewing this ADA guide from the Department of Justice.
Common Types of Disability Discrimination
Disability discrimination isn’t always obvious. Sometimes, it comes in the form of subtle mistreatment that violates your rights under federal law. Here are some examples of when to contact a disability discrimination attorney:
| Situation | Type of Discrimination |
| Fired after revealing a disability | Wrongful termination |
| Refused a promotion because of medical leave | Denial of privileges of employment |
| Ignored after requesting a standing desk | Lack of reasonable accommodation |
| Bullied by coworkers for using a cane | Hostile work environment |
| Rejected during the hiring process due to disability | Discrimination against job applicants |
If you’ve been through any of these experiences, reach out to one of our lawyers for workplace disability discrimination to talk about next steps.

Know Your Rights: What the Law Requires
The ADA ensures that people with disabilities get equal opportunities at work. This means your employer cannot treat you differently or deny you opportunities simply because you’re a person with a disability.
Employers are legally required to:
- Make reasonable accommodation including changes to your schedule or duties
- Avoid creating or allowing a hostile work environment
- Refrain from penalizing you for taking medical leave
- Treat you the same as other employees with respect to pay, benefits, and advancement
If your employer has failed in any of these areas, contact our disability discrimination lawyers today.
You can also review your full rights under federal law through the EEOC’s disability discrimination portal.
