$130k recovery for a victim of disability discrimination

Background: Our client, diagnosed with physical and mental health issues during the COVID work-from-home period, provided documentation to HR. Upon the employer's request to return to the office, her doctor recommended accommodations due to disabilities, including continued remote work. Despite successfully working from home during the pandemic for several years, the company deemed the accommodation unreasonable, leading to her termination. The company offered her a small severance package.


Outcome: We analyzed the case, and the nuances of reasonable accommodations on the federal, state, and local levels. We fought for our client and received a favorable settlement from the company

Result:
