Some employees with long COVID have invoked ERISA’s statutory protections to secure their eligibility for short-term and long-term disability insurance benefits after their plan administrator wrongfully denied them.
For some people, COVID-19 can cause severe illness, which can qualify as a serious health condition under the FMLA. Unfortunately, some employers have not respected the FMLA rights of their employees, which has resulted in several lawsuits being brought on their behalf.
COVID-19 may be considered a disability under the ADA when it substantially limits a person’s major life activities. If an employer denies a disabled employee’s request for a reasonable accommodation, it may give rise to a disability discrimination lawsuit.
The coronavirus pandemic has temporarily or permanently disabled millions of Americans, which has resulted in several lawsuits with outcomes that rest upon whether COVID-19 can be considered a disability under the ADA.
Pandemic Patients is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works to relieve the harm caused by COVID-19 and Post-COVID Conditions.
