Legal Question in Disability Law in New York
My job terminated me and 2 other people after we submitted paperwork from our primary care physicians regarding being people with pre-existing conditions making us high risk for covid-19. I have asthma and another individual has a heart issue. What steps can I take if I wanted to sue for discrimination?

You may file for State Unemployment Benefits. As to a lawsuit for workplace discrimination, this is still a developing area of law as it relates to workplace discrimination during a government declared "pandemic." Therefore, I cannot offer you any legal advice.
