A former employee is taking legal action against his previous employer, alleging wrongful termination due to disability discrimination. Harrison Campbell filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on February 4, 2026, against Nature’s Turf Inc., Nature’s Turf LLC, and Nature’s Landscape Services, Inc. The lawsuit accuses these companies of violating federal laws by discriminating against Campbell because of his heart condition.
Campbell began working with the defendants in August 2023 as a lawn service technician and was later promoted to Service Manager. His performance was exemplary until May 31, 2025, when he suffered a life-threatening cardiac emergency that required hospitalization. Following this incident, Campbell requested light duty work based on medical advice from his cardiologist. However, his request was initially denied by his manager, who claimed no light duty was available. This refusal came just days after Campbell’s medical crisis.
The plaintiff alleges that after he inquired about Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave on June 4, 2025, the defendants reluctantly agreed to provide light duty but then retaliated by stripping him of managerial duties and reducing his work hours significantly upon his return on June 17, 2025. This reduction led to substantial financial losses for Campbell. He claims these actions were discriminatory and retaliatory under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and FMLA.
The situation escalated when Campbell was terminated on July 17, 2025, allegedly for insubordination following a dispute over parking privileges—an issue he contends is pretextual given his previously unblemished record and long-standing use of managerial parking without incident. The complaint asserts that similarly situated employees without disabilities were not subjected to such adverse actions for comparable conduct.
Campbell seeks various forms of relief from the court including back pay, compensatory damages for emotional distress and loss of reputation, punitive damages for willful violations of ADA rights, liquidated damages under FMLA provisions due to alleged willful violations by the defendants, reinstatement or front pay in lieu thereof along with attorney fees incurred during litigation.
Representing Harrison Campbell are attorneys Adam T. Mills and Christopher B. Hall from Hall & Lampros LLP based in Atlanta. The case is being overseen by Judge LMM-RGV under Case ID: 3:26-cv-00025-LMM-RGV.
