A Kentucky man sued his employer for disability discrimination and retaliation after he was subject to an unwanted birthday party and subsequently fired — and won at least $450,000.
The suit was brought in the Kenton County Circuit Court in northern Kentucky, where the man alleged he was fired from Gravity Diagnostics after he was thrown a birthday celebration in August, according to a report.
He told his employer as much days before his August birthday, court documents noted. However, on Aug. 7, a lunchtime birthday was organized, and the plaintiff had a panic attack.The plaintiff alleged he was forced to"leave the office suddenly and spend his lunch break in his car." He was then sent home for multiple days and fired that weekend"because of the events of the previous week," the suit alleged.
