For the Win Friday
An employer must accommodate an employee’s disabilities, but can an allergy to bee stings be classified as a disability? Attorney Samuel Cordes recently convinced a federal judge of this, leading to a settlement of nearly half a million dollars. While disabilities are often seen as physical limitations, the law is broader. Cordes previously established than an allergy can be considered a disability, as it limits major life activities like health and immune function. This case arose after an employer failed to accommodate an employee with a bee sting allergy, resulting in the employee’s severe injury and death. Cordes successfully represented the employee, securing a substantial settlement.
