If you have been diagnosed with Colitis, and your employer has discriminated against you because of your disease, you may have an employment law claim. Colitis is a digestive condition that is characterized by inflammation of the mucus membranes of the colon. Symptoms of colitis often include abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Colitis is often treated with medications, steroids, and surgery.

If you have colitis, and if your boss has treated you different because of your condition, you may have a claim against your employer. In order to bring a cause of action against your employer, you must be able to show that your colitis is considered a legal disability, your colitis results in physical limitations, you can still perform the essential functions of your job, and that your boss has discriminated against you based on your colitis. Examples of ways in which your boss may have discriminated against you based on your colitis is that he/she does not allow you to miss work for medical appointments, your boss doesn’t accommodate your need to take a reasonable time off work, and/or your employer will not provide reasonable accommodation for your disability.

If you believe that you have been a victim of discrimination based on your colitis, you should not hesitate to act. Contact the skilled attorneys at Law Offices of David H.
