Wanner v. Under Armour, Inc.

**What Happened** A worker named Wanner sued Under Armour, claiming the company discriminated against them because of a disability and failed to provide reasonable accommodations that would have allowed them to do their job effectively. **What the Court Decided** The court dismissed Wanner's case, meaning the lawsuit was thrown out without a trial. The court found that Wanner did not present enough evidence to support their claims of disability discrimination or failure to accommodate. No damages were awarded to the worker. **Why This Matters for Workers** This case shows how challenging it can be for workers to win disability discrimination lawsuits. To succeed in court, employees must provide strong evidence that they have a qualifying disability, that they requested reasonable accommodations, and that their employer illegally refused to provide them or discriminated against them. Workers facing similar situations should carefully document all communications with their employer about their disability and any requested accommodations. They should also consult with employment attorneys early in the process to understand what evidence will be needed to build a strong case.
