Federal Court Says Driving Is Not A Major Life Activity Under The ADA (pdf).
Vedder Price • August 29, 2005
A computer programmer whose vertigo prevented her
from driving to work had no discrimination claim under
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois recently ruled in
Yindee v. Commerce Clearing House Inc., No. 04 C
0730. Granting summary judgment to her employer, the
court found that plaintiff’s vertigo did not substantially
limit her in a major life activity since the sole activity
affected by her condition was driving.
