Navigation Plaintiff alleges former employer D&D Accounting Services LLC of Disability Discrimination
Elizabeth Westbrook has filed a lawsuit against her former employer, alleging disability discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. The complaint was filed on December 23, 2024, in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, naming D&D Accounting Services LLC, doing business as INSA Cannabis for Real Life, as the defendant.
According to the complaint, Elizabeth Westbrook began working for D&D Accounting Services LLC on October 10, 2022. She claims that despite her exemplary work performance and positive customer reviews, she faced discrimination due to her disabilities—anxiety and severe asthma—which were known to her employer. The lawsuit alleges that after reporting unlawful employment practices by the company, Westbrook was subjected to disparate treatment and retaliatory actions by management figures including District Manager Charles Stone and Florida Human Resource Representative Ryan Darling.
Westbrook’s medical conditions required several emergency room visits starting in February 2023. Although she provided necessary documentation for these absences initially accepted by her employer, she was later informed that such notes would no longer be recognized. Consequently, she had to use vacation time for medical absences and received reprimands despite submitting valid doctor’s notes. On October 5, 2023, Westbrook was terminated by Charles Stone explicitly due to her medical-related absences.
