What is the name of your state? Nevada. I would like an opinion from someone knowledgable in ADA or other equal/civil rights matters before I go ahead and file a ADA Title II Complaint against the State of Nevada.
The following is pasted from the Nevada revised Statutes :
NRS 616A.265 “Injury” and “personal injury” defined.
1. “Injury” or “personal injury” means a sudden and tangible happening of a traumatic nature, producing an immediate or prompt result which is established by medical evidence, including injuries to prosthetic devices.
This definition would seem to exclude a Repetitive Motion Injury and in my opinion discriminates against all disabled persons who suffered their disability through such means.
Many states have recognized RPIs, notably MO and I believe, CA. But during my research last night, I discovered that VA covers RPIs as a workplace disease rather than as an injury. I then re-read denial letters from the compensation carrier in the NV case and they refer to the claim in question as a workplace disease.
Not that this should change my strategy, but when one finds a law that he believes is discriminatory in nature, well someone has to try to change it.What is the name of your state?
