Case: Disability Discrimination/Failure to Accommodate (E.D. Tenn.)

A Tennessee federal district court denied Amazon.com Services LLC’s motion to dismiss Americans with Disabilities Act claims for failure to accommodate and adverse employment action brought by an employee with a back injury, finding that the Tennessee Workers’ Compensation Act doesn’t preempt ADA claims because they address discrimination experienced due to disability rather than the injury itself, while dismissing the employee’s Family and Medical Leave Act, Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, and Title VII claims.
