A federal jury awarded $405,083 to a veteran in a disability discrimination case against a St. Petersburg, Fla. senior living facility and its operating companies, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced. According to the EEOC’s suit, The Princess Martha, the senior living facility managed by TJM Property Management and TJM Properties Inc., violated federal law when they denied a reasonable accommodation and refused to hire a veteran who applied for a job. The EEOC presented evidence at trial showing that the applicant disclosed to The Princess Martha’s hiring manager that she is a veteran with post-traumatic stress syndrome and took medication to treat the condition, which would cause a drug test to fail. Thereafter, the applicant took the required drug test and made repeated attempts to provide proof of her legally prescribed medications, but The Princess Martha made no attempts to accommodate her and revoked her job offer. At trial, a top management official admitted that The Princess Martha submitted false information to the EEOC. Such alleged conduct violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
