Solorzano v. Imperial Toy Corp.
Within the span of three weeks, an employee slipped and fell, landing on her back and sustaining a strain of her back and left knee, was treated by a physician and placed on work restrictions, used three sick days because she could not bear the pain, and, within days of returning to work, was terminated. More than a year later, the employee still suffered unbearable pain in her foot, ankle, and knee. She could not lift heavy objects like bags of clothes, had problems walking, and her ankle would swell, making it difficult to stand.
Court conclude there are disputed issues of fact as to whether the employee was disabled and reverse.
