Steven Alessi has filed a lawsuit against Northwell Health and several of its employees, alleging discrimination and retaliation due to his disability. The complaint, submitted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, claims that Alessi was terminated from his position as a Physician Assistant following a brutal assault that left him with significant injuries and disabilities. Alessi asserts that despite informing his employer about his condition and providing necessary documentation, he faced adverse employment actions. The lawsuit seeks damages for violations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and New York Executive Law (NYEL), citing wrongful termination and failure to accommodate his disabilities.
