Mishos v. McKesson Corporation
What Happened
A worker filed a lawsuit against McKesson Corporation claiming she experienced discrimination, retaliation, and failure to accommodate a disability. She argued the company violated her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which protects workers with disabilities from unfair treatment.
What the Court Decided
The court sided with McKesson and dismissed the entire case. The judge found that the worker did not provide enough evidence showing she actually had a disability, had a record of a disability, or was treated as if she had a disability. Without establishing one of these three things, her discrimination claim couldn't proceed, which also caused her related retaliation and accommodation claims to fail.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case shows that workers bringing disability discrimination lawsuits must clearly document their disability status from the start. Simply claiming unfair treatment isn't enough—workers need medical documentation or other concrete evidence that they have a disability (current or past) or were wrongly perceived as disabled. Workers facing discrimination should gather solid evidence early and consider legal guidance before filing.
