Employers can run afoul of the Americans with Disabilities Act in a number of ways, recent lawsuits have shown. 

In one case, a company was sued for allegedly firing an employee with breast cancer after the third-party administrator failed to process her request for intermittent leave and she missed work. 

In another, a company allegedly failed to accommodate visually impaired employees partially by requiring use of benefits, leave and training platforms that were not fully accessible.

However, there are limits to workers’ claims. In a recent order, a judge ruled that a doctor did not have a discrimination claim because the doctor’s burnout did not qualify as a disability.
