Discrimination Claims We Handle in Massachusetts

Sex and Gender Discrimination

Gender-based discrimination is prohibited under federal and state employment regulations. If you or your family member were discriminated against on the basis of gender or sex in Massachusetts, you should consult with an experienced attorney immediately.

Race, Color, and National Origin Discrimination

Employers are prohibited from engaging in race-based discrimination. Companies cannot discriminate against workers based on their race, color, or their national origin. Victims of racial discrimination or harassment in the workplace should take action to protect their rights.

Age Discrimination

Age discrimination occurs when an employer takes adverse action against a worker on the basis of their age. Workers should be assessed on their individual strengths and weaknesses, not on general perceptions and stereotypes about their age.

Pregnancy Discrimination

Federal law and Massachusetts state statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of pregnancy. Companies should not take adverse action against an employee simply because she became pregnant.

Disability Discrimination

Disability discrimination should not occur in Massachusetts. Disabled workers have a right to fairly compete for positions and to thrive and advance in the workplace. Employers cannot discriminate against a worker based on the fact that they have a protected disability. Massachusetts workers have a right to be judged on their actual qualifications for a position.

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination

Massachusetts is one of several states that provides considerable legal protections to workers on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. If you were discriminated against in Massachusetts based on actual or perceived LGBTQ status, you should consult with an employment attorney as soon as possible.
