CompFox AI Summary

Plaintiff Andy Vaughan filed suit against Harvard Industries and Hayes-Abion Corporation, alleging discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and wrongful retaliatory discharge following a worker's compensation claim. Vaughan experienced an on-the-job injury, leading to medical restrictions and eventual termination in December 1993, with the defendants citing lack of work due to his inability to perform essential job functions. The court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment, determining that Vaughan failed to establish a prima facie case for ADA discrimination, as his impairments did not meet the definition of a disability and he was not a qualified individual for his position.
