It is also extremely difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were let go due to the disability, especially if there is only a single case in the company and not a track record to follow unless there is a blatant email along the lines of "they're blind, let's get rid of them."
- ithinkso 5y agoThis is a common misconception, proof beyond a reasonable doubt is only needed in criminal cases. In civil cases most often preponderance of the evidence (i.e. 'more likely that not') is enough
- kwdc 5y agoThis is an indication of the need for more people to get actual legal advice before assuming anything legal.

- ithinkso 5y agoYes, I agree, but that's not what I was objecting to (pun intended). I'm not from the US though so bankrupting private individuals through court costs is a science fiction for me
