Rachel Knight and Devon Knight have filed a lawsuit against Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon.com Services, LLC in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaint alleges wrongful termination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Rachel Knight, who has been diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis, claims she was terminated without proper adherence to her disability accommodations. The Knights argue that Amazon failed to provide reasonable accommodations and did not allow Rachel to have representation during crucial meetings regarding her employment status. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages for emotional distress, lost wages, and other reliefs.
