Employment Law
$2 Million Settlement — Disability Discrimination & Retaliation
- The Challenge
- A medical condition and the leave and accommodations that followed became the turning point in the client's employment. As the condition became known, performance criticism and disciplinary measures escalated, and the client was pushed out while the employer cited unrelated business reasons.
- Strategy & Resolution
- Counsel assembled the accommodation requests, medical documentation, personnel records, and communications into a single timeline that showed how the employer's stated reasons changed as the disability became known. Presenting that record early reframed the matter as disability discrimination and retaliation, and the case settled for $2 million.
