I am a California attorney and not eligible to give legal advice in your state. My comments are for information only, based on federal law and general legal principles. YOUR STATE MAY HAVE ITS OWN LAWS THAT PROVIDE SIMILAR OR GREATER PROTECTION. If I refer to your state's laws, that only means I did a quick Internet search and found something that appeared relevant. You should not rely on any comment I make regarding your state's law. You MUST check with an attorney licensed in your state. From the facts as you state them, you may have legitimate grounds for claims against the employer for disability discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. sections 12101 et seq. (ADA) and for denial of family and medical leave rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. section 2101 et seq. (FMLA). Federal disability discrimination law applies to all employers who have at least 15 employees. Please look at my guide on the ADA: http://www.attorneyqna.com/pages/show?category_id=6&pe... . You may be protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. section 2101 et seq. (FMLA) if all of the following is true: (a) your employer has at least 50 employees who work within 75 miles of one another; and (b) you have worked for this employer for at least one year all together, even if not consecutively; (c) you have worked for this employer at least 1,250 hours in the immediately preceding year; and (d) you have a serious medical condition as defined by the FMLA. Please look at my guide on the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. section 2101 et seq. (FMLA): http://www.attorneyqna.com/pages/show?category_id=6&pe... . An possible source for legal information for people with epilepsy and other seizure disorders is the Epilepsy Foundation. http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/ In many cities, the Epilepsy Foundation has a network of attorneys who represent people with epilepsy in employment situations. Another way to find a plaintiffs employment attorney in your area, please go to the web site of the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA). NELA is the largest and most influential bar association in the country for attorneys who represent working people. The web site is www.nela.org , and you can search for attorneys by location and practice area. Also, NELA has affiliates in every state and in many cities. On the NELA web site, you can look at the list of affiliates. Some attorneys will be listed in the affiliate membership list, some in the national organization membership list, and some in both. Being listed in one or both lists should not influence your selection because attorneys can choose whether or not to purchase the listing in the national directory. Each local affiliate has its own rules for listing. I hope you can resolve your situation and wish you the best.
