“Common Sense” Accommodation In An ADA Case

An top employee suffered disabling injuries in a car accident. When she was able to return to work, the old job didn’t work out and she was eventually terminated, without ever having requested an accommodation. Nor had she brought in a note from a doctor. What happened next in a Connecticut federal court, says a post from Barnes & Thornburg, should serve as a reminder that sometimes “a good dose of common sense can be indispensable for staying out of trouble under the Americans with Disabilities Act.”
