Franklin is a research scientist at Insight Research Corporation (IRC). IRC has five research scientists, four assistants, one secretary, and one CEO. Franklin has developed ALS, a disease which binds him to a wheelchair. He is one of the greatest scientists in the world, and can still do his job. Franklin has requested that IRC accommodate his disability, making changes to the company restroom and widening the doors to the building. The changes would be relatively inexpensive, costing only $2,000. If Franklin sues under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), what result

If Franklin sues under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Franklin will win and this will force IRC to accommodate his disability under this civil rights legislation.

The ADA law was passed to protect persons experiencing physical or mental impairment or disability against workplace discriminations.

While ALS is recognized as a progressive nervous system disease that surely affects Franklin's nerve cells in his brain and spinal cord, which has caused him to lose muscle control, he can still perform his duties as a research scientist at IRC.

Thus, Insight Research Corporation should accommodate Franklin and make the necessary changes, which have been determined to be relatively inexpensive to the company.

Thus, if IRC fails to accommodate Franklin and he sues the company in the court under ADA, he will prevail.
