Description: Chicago, Illinois civil rights lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued on an Americans with Disabilities Act violation theory.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discriminatory employment practices on the basis of disability. To establish a prima facie case of disability discrimination against an employer under the ADA requires an employee to show four elements: the employer is subject to the ADA; the employee is disabled as defined by the ADA, has a record of impairment, or is perceived to be so by the employer; the employee is able to perform essential functions of the job, either with or without reasonable accommodation; and the employer took an adverse employment action against the employee because of, in whole or in part, the employee’s protected disability. See: Malatesta Law Office

Outcome: Telephone status hearing held on 2/26/2024. The parties reported that they have reached a settlement. Case is dismissed without prejudice, with leave to reinstate within 30 days. If a motion to reinstate is not filed within 30 days, the dismissal will automatically convert to a dismissal with prejudice without further action of the court. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice.
