Holder v. Cooper Tire & Rubber Company

This type of claim typically arises when an employer doesn't provide necessary adjustments that would allow a worker to perform their job effectively.
What the Court Decided

The court approved this settlement, and each side paid its own legal fees and costs. No public damages amount was reported.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case reminds employers that workers with disabilities or medical conditions have legal rights to reasonable workplace accommodations.
