Understanding Workplace and Employment Discrimination: Workplace and employment discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly or subjected to adverse actions based on their protected characteristics. Federal and state laws protect employees from discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, and genetic information. Florida’s laws align with these federal protections, offering further safeguards for employees.

Common Forms of
Workplace Discrimination

Age Discrimination

If an employer treats an employee unfavorably due to their age, either younger or older than 40, it constitutes age discrimination.

Gender Discrimination

Discrimination based on gender, including unequal pay, promotion denial, or harassment, is strictly prohibited by law.

Racial Discrimination

Unfair treatment or prejudice based on race, skin color, or ethnicity is a violation of civil rights.

Disability Discrimination

Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, and discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities is illegal.

Religious Discrimination

Employees must be given reasonable accommodations for religious beliefs and practices, and discrimination based on religion is unlawful.

Pregnancy Discrimination

Pregnant employees are protected from discrimination regarding hiring, promotions, or benefits.

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination

Florida law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Discrimination Cases

Investigating Your Claim

We will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building a strong case to support your claim.

Negotiation and Mediation

I felt like I was part of the Family.

John W

I was fired after complaining about the lack of promotions. The attorneys at Gaines Nolan put my mind at ease with their excellent knowledge of the law, and strategy on pursuing a case. My former employer was forced to pay all my lost wages and compensate me for the stress caused by the loss of my job. I am so glad I retained Gaines Nolan!

Rose J

Gaines Nolan represented me after I was injured in a slip and fall while shopping. They got me top dollar for my injuries and I definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Debbie N

I was hurt when a distracted driver ran a red light. Hiring Gaines Nolan was like hiring family. From the day I walked into their office, I always felt like they had my back and would not stop working to get me the best results possible. I was right, after my case was settled for the policy limits against the other driver, they went after my own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits.

Sam G

I was always able to speak with someone knowledgeable about my car accident case and appreciated the time spent explaining what to expect going forward. I was able to successfully resolve my case with excellent results, thanks to Debra and Arnold!
