Blind 911 Operator Settles Disability Discrimination Case Against Ingham County

Andrew Thurston was a 911 operator for Ingham County. Despite being legally blind, he performed his duties in exemplary fashion. Then the county introduced a new software system that was not disability accessible. Instead of accommodating Andrew, Ingham County used the mistakes that were occurring as a result of the new software as a pretext to terminate him. Andrew came to Fett Law and we made them pay. We filed a disability discrimination case on his behalf, and Ingham County eventually settled the case for an undisclosed amount.

State Settles with Disabled Worker Over Disability and FMLA Claims

Becky Harte was a disability examiner for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. She never imagined the state would discriminate against her because of her multiple sclerosis. Unfortunately, the state did just that, denying her multiple promotions and interfering with her FMLA leave. We stood up for Becky, bringing disability discrimination and FMLA interference claims on her behalf. Rather than defend its actions in court, the state settled with Becky for an undisclosed amount.
