Legal Question in Disability Law in North Carolina

Re: Title 1 of ADA

Your question is confusing. I cannot tell whether you worked for the employer prior to becoming "disabled" or whether you were applying for a new job with the employer.

In any case, many more facts are required before an attorney will be able to advise you.

You should consult a local attorney immediately.

There is a short statute of limitation (time within which you must file a charge with the state and federal agencies).

Things you must remember: you must be able to

perform the ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS of the job with

a reasonable accommodation by the employer.

The employer must be informed of the disability

and of the reasonable accommodation to be made.

Often in these cases, there is disagreement

between employer

and employee as to what are the essential functions and what constitutes a reasonable accommodation.

Here you have not said what your disability is, what the job is, what the essential functions are (in your opinion), and what the requested reasonable accommodation is.

Without this information, no one is able to counsel you properly . . . other than to tell you: go consult with a local attorney and explain all these facts to him or her.

Good luck.

Re: Title 1 of ADA

While I connot give a detailed reply on the limited facts supplied, it appears that a prohibted inquiry was made, contrary to the ADA. The company may have "regarded you as disabled", by such an inquiry. I doubt whether such an inquiry is made of all employees in the interview process. Thus you were treated differently. Secondly, if the company takes the position that you were given a conditional job offer , then you have the right to request accomodation, if you are disabled as defined under the ADA.
