Baltimore, MD. November 16, 2023 – Once again, Amazon faces a potential Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) discrimination claim for failure to accommodate blind employees. Quinn Patton, formerly the Quinn Law Group, represents Mr. Johnson, an employee at an Amazon warehouse in Baltimore, MD, who is demanding a safe work environment. Amazon has failed to accommodate our client’s vision loss, as required per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), putting him in significant danger of physical harm. He suffered further retaliation after complaining of these unsafe conditions.
"It is imperative that Amazon immediately address these issues and provide our client, and all workers with disabilities, a safe working environment," said Don Quinn, Managing Partner, Quinn Patton, who has additional cases against Amazon. "Too often, Americans with disabilities are treated like second-class citizens with companies violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our job as employment attorneys is to ensure that our clients receive fair and equal treatment in accordance with the law."
"Our client wants to work and do a good job for Amazon," said lead attorney Christopher Haake. "He is asking to work in a safe environment to do his job well and without incurring any physical harm."
Quinn Patton, formerly the Quinn Law Group, has favorably settled disability and employment discrimination cases against private employers and government agencies. "We try to resolve disability discrimination cases quickly so our clients can receive justice while remaining in the workforce," said Katherine Patton, Partner. "But, when companies continue to violate workers' rights, our firm is poised to fight aggressively in the state and federal courts."
