Legal Question in Disability Law in Washington

Re: Employer designates when diabetic can eat.

Diabetes can be a disability entitled to reasonable accommodation by the employer. This means the employer may be required to bend rules to allow an employee to deal with a disability. I was fortunate to take a diabetes case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Washington, where the court found that eating in a person with diabetes was a major life activity warranting prorection as a disability. Disability discrimination and accommodation cases can be extremely complex. You need the assistance of an experience lawyer in disability discrimination law.

Please be aware that you have only a limited time to take action against the employer (180 or 300 days, depending on the circumstances), so do not delay seeking legal advice. You should consult with a qualified, experienced sexual harassment lawyer to make sure your rights are preserved.

The above does not constitute legal opinion and is offered for the purposes of discussion only. The law differs in every jurisdiction, and you should not rely on any opinion except that of an attorney you have retained, who has a professional duty to advise you after being fully informed of all the pertinent facts and who is familiar with the applicable law.
