Rivercrest LawPractice Area
Disability Discrimination Lawyer in Washington
Washington law has strong protections for civil rights, reasonable accommodation, and disability discrimination claims. The Washington Law Against Discrimination and the federal Fair Housing Act provide remedies for people whose rights have been violated, whether the discrimination comes from a landlord, a housing provider, or a business.
Reasonable Accommodation and Housing Discrimination
Landlords and housing providers must reasonably accommodate tenants with disabilities. Refusing an accommodation request, enforcing rules more harshly against a disabled tenant, or moving to evict a tenant because of their disability can violate the Washington Law Against Discrimination and the federal Fair Housing Act.
A Record Result for Two Disabled Tenants
Rivercrest Law represented two tenants with disabilities, a mother and daughter who had lived in their Vancouver home for many years before they were evicted. The firm sued for damages stemming from violations including the Fair Housing Act and the Washington Law Against Discrimination, and litigated the case through discovery and mediation to the eve of jury trial, ending in a record settlement.
