Legal Question in Discrimination Law in New York
Discrimination
I was recently fired from my job
because I have an eating disorder. I
was wondering, can a person get
fired from a job if they have an
eating disorder? Would that be
considered as discrimination or
something? Also me having an eating
disorder would not be a health
insurance concern for them, because
I did not get health insurance from
them. Any information would be very
helpful.

Re: Discrimination
Your situation would likely be covered, if at all, under the Americans with Disabilities Act but a simple answer, unfortunately, is not possible. Unless someone on the board offers a more sensible suggestion, you should resarch a lawyer who specializes in this area. This website has resources to help you so you should first look under "Disability" under the areas of law section. You may find an attorney who regularly responds. In fact, you should probably simply post your question in that section.
