Legal Question in Disability Law in California

Coverage under the ADA for a short-term illness or disability - REPLY

Usually, a temporary or short-term injury or illness does not qualify as a disability. In order to be covered, the impairment must "substantially limit" one or more major life activities. For example, if a person were to have any of the following impairments, that person would be protected under the ADA: AIDS, cancer, cerebral palsy, tuberculosis, heart disease, hearing or visual impairments.
