Re: Fired from a Non-Retaliation Firm

You may have a claim under the Americans With Disabilites Act (ADA). File a claim with the EEOC immediately. Contact an attorney who can help steer you through the process. Ask him/her if they have any experience in this area.

Once it's filed (and you can file locally with your Indiana Civil Rights), the EEOC will investigate the claim. They will attempt to make a settlement, particularly if there is merit to your claim. They may or may not file on your behalf, and may instead issue what is commonly called a "Right to Sue" letter. At that point, you have 90 days to file your complaint in Federal District Court.
