Although Florida is an at will work state, whistle blower laws protect employees whom make claims in which businesses are violating the law. This makes it difficult for the employer to fire the employee, as the employee would have a claim of retaliation. In any case, I recommend you look at the Department of Justice website. They take on ADA cases to push empolyers to comply with Federal ADA law. It is noted they will not defend or take on cases on your personal behalf, so if you want to file a claim for personal damages, you will need to hire a private ADA attorney.
