Case: Disability Discrimination/Demotion (C.D. Ill.)

An Illinois federal court denied summary judgment to Obstetrics and Gynecology Care Associates, S.C. on disability discrimination claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act and state law by a physician’s assistant who allegedly received a reduction in her hours and pay, due to her orthopedic-related disabilities, finding that a reasonable jury could conclude that her employer’s proffered reason for the adverse action—a failure to meet financial expectations—was pretextual.
