Lawson West’s expert employment solicitors and lawyers have significant experience in all types of dismissal cases.
It is possible that if you are dismissed simply because of your disability, that you are disabled and/or for situations that were only as a result of your disability this could amount to an act of discrimination giving rise to claims.
If you are dismissed from employment without any reason or evidence provided you are entitled to request these from your employer. If the reasons given are connected to your disability, you may be able to seek recourse in an Employment Tribunal.
In situations where you face possible redundancy, this can also be unfair if the reason for your selection is connected to you being disabled or unable to perform the same duties due to your disability. In situations where you feel you are being treated unfairly due to your disability and this could lead to your dismissal, you may also hold claims.
If you have been dismissed, we can help. Please remember there are strict time limits in Employment claims and you should take good free legal advice as soon as possible.
