Beranbaum Menken LLP has filed a disability discrimination lawsuit in federal court on behalf of Grant Fox, a disabled veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) stemming from his lengthy military service. Fox alleges that his rights were violated when his employer failed to provide him with a reasonable accommodate to his disability as required by federal, state and local law, when his boss would not allow him to receive treatment during work hours for his PTSD and also would not adopt certain supervisory techniques to avoid triggering his PTSD.
