Re: [epilepsy] Employment Discrimination Case

 

Y do U need to disclose?  If you have cancer you are not obligated to disclose.  Unless you are operating heavy machinery, how does Epilepsy interfere with gainful employment and the ability to hold a job

One did you tell them prior to them hiring you that you had this ailment. If not then that may be grounds for termination as you were not fourth coming ( honest ) with them
 
If you did tell them and they still hired you then that is another case in a nut shell if they new and they still hired you then that is a slam dunk case easy for a attorney to win on even a contingency law suit
 
You might want to also contact the better business beau and let them know also  Also you may want to look into contacting a law professor in a local or near by law school or even calling some several miles away in another city or county at least 3 county's away and see if there is a attorney there that might be interested in your case
 
If the EEOC said you have a right to sue why are they not suing on your behalf as this is part of there job if im not mistaken

Does your company  have a union?  That is very illegal to get fired from a job where you have an uncontrollable ailment.  Do they fire people for  having cancer?

Subject: [epilepsy] Employment Discrimination Case

 

I have been trying to find an Employment Discrimination Lawyer to represent me in a case that I have filed against an employer who fired me after learning that I have epilepsy.

I have called the Epilepsy Foundation and they have suggested a few agencies that do this, however they are too busy to handle my case.

I have also called a few private attorneys and met with one. I could not afford to hire them. Even on a contingency basis, they require a smaller hourly fee.

This case is very important to me. I almost lost my house and I do not have health insurance because of this. I was and still am depressed about losing this job. I had planned to work there a long time. It was a job working with persons with disabilities. I couldn't believe that this is what they do and they fired me.

I filed a complaint with the EEOC and after investigating my complaint, they issued a Right to Sue Letter. This definitely makes my case stronger.

Does anyone have any ideas? The Federal Court has attorneys who can help me to represent myself, but not to actually represent me. I live near Chicago in Illinois. Thanks!
