Case: Disability Discrimination/Failure to Accommodate (S.D. Ohio)

An Ohio federal district court denied Turner Construction Company’s motion to dismiss disability discrimination, retaliation, and failure to accommodate claims under Ohio law brought by a foreman with a pinched nerve and hernia that limited his ability to bend, lift, or carry objects, finding that the foreman plausibly alleged Turner Construction was his employer based on its alleged involvement in placing him on unpaid leave, banning him from the work location, and instructing his supervisor to terminate him after he requested a light duty accommodation.
