What Happened
Guri Gonzalez filed a lawsuit against LA Food Court Inc. in April 2020, claiming the company failed to accommodate her disability or medical needs as required by law.
What the Court Decided
The court dismissed the case because Gonzalez did not properly serve the defendant with legal documents within the required 90-day timeframe and did not actively pursue the case.

This case reminds workers that filing a lawsuit is only the first step. You must follow strict procedural rules—like serving court papers on time and staying actively involved in your case. If you don't, your case can be thrown out even if your complaint has merit. Workers pursuing accommodation claims should work closely with an attorney to ensure all legal deadlines are met and all required steps are completed properly.
