Laurel, MS asked in Employment Law and Civil Rights for Mississippi

Q: How to go about suing a company for American Vunerable Abuse Act in State of Mississippi ?

My son is Autistic but highly functional, he does have certain things that he cannot learn certain things like how to drive and his right hand from his left, count money, and he is also ADHD, his employer knew this when they hired him, he worked for 2 weeks without pay, or the required background check or drug test . However since he’s been theee for 3 years and hasn’t been a problem until now, he’s being verbally abused by his supervisor and they’ve stopped calling him for work. They tell him they’ll call him if they need him.

A: I hate seeing this. Based on the facts as you've presented, your son may have a claim for discrimination and constructive termination; however, it is going to depend on some more facts, as those types of cases are very fact intensive. Your best bet is going to be to reach out to a lawyer to get some additional information so that they can assess the viability of the claim.
