Duties of a California Disability Attorney

Friday, July 22, 2011


In California, a person with disability, although what he is experiencing is very painful for him, can also feel the security. It is because the government has provided laws that would protect them from being discriminated by their peers or even by a stranger who can actually discriminate them even just by seeing them.

It is very painful to see people look at you with their prying eyes. But what is more infuriating is when you are discriminated in the society because of your disability. Because of this, the federal government had enacted laws that would at least compensate for the pain that you receive whenever you are discriminated against your own community.

In line with this, the California Code sections 54 until 55.2 states that:

1.    Individuals with disabilities or medical conditions have the same right as the general public to the full and free use of the:

·         Streets
·         Highways
·         Sidewalks
·         Walkways
·         Public buildings
·         Medical facilities
·         Including hospitals
·         Clinics
·         Physicians' offices
·         Public facilities
·         Other public places

2.    Individuals with disabilities shall be entitled to full and equal access, as other members of the general public, to all housing accommodations offered for rent, lease, or compensation.

A California disability attorney can be of great help if a person with disability wants to file for a claim regarding his or her disability. A disability attorney would be there to provide you with the following services in order for you to be able to comprehend the processes in claiming your benefits:

·         He will explain the process in detail and will give you insights on how tough it is to pursue the case, the consequences and its benefits. At this point of time the clients might be able to lose patience and confidence as well, that is why an attorney should be able to make him realize how important step it is. And an experienced attorney is needed in this initial process.

·         He will make it clear to you what a contingency fee policy is. It is actually a policy which states that if he do not win your case, there is no need for you pay.
·         He will give valuable advices to you such as going to the doctor regularly, as part of the gathering of evidences since the court looks only at the records while you are disabled, and disregards any medical records from the past.
