A legal complaint has been filed alleging that an employee was harassed and terminated due to his physical disability, raising questions about workplace discrimination and protections for individuals with disabilities. The lawsuit was submitted by Patrick Greer in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on March 24, 2026, naming CI Acworth Joint Venture, LLC as the defendant.
According to the complaint, Patrick Greer worked as a salesman at Campers Inn RV of Acworth, Georgia from approximately March 20, 2025 until August 28, 2025. Greer states that he is legally blind in his left eye due to a pronounced birthmark and vision impairment—a condition which he alleges was known to his employer. The filing asserts that this physical deformity qualifies as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits employment discrimination based on disability.
The document outlines that Greer experienced repeated harassment from management during his employment. Specifically, Sales Manager Scott Wilson and General Manager Stephen Crook are accused of making derogatory comments about Greer’s appearance in front of both employees and customers. According to the complaint, these managers referred to Greer’s eye as “disgusting” and “horrible,” questioning why he worked at the dealership. The complaint states these remarks were made directly within earshot on at least five occasions between March and August 2025, with indications that similar comments may have been made outside his presence as well.
Greer further alleges that prior to being hired, Mr. Crook attempted to prevent him from obtaining employment at the dealership by claiming there were no openings available. However, after meeting with the National Sales Director during a subsequent visit, Greer was hired within days upon direction from higher management.
Once employed, Greer claims he faced ongoing bullying in sales meetings where management allegedly threatened to “starve” him out by withholding leads and manipulating deals so he would not earn commissions. He asserts that his commissions were reduced or denied multiple times and that these actions were intended to force him out because of his disability. The complaint also includes statements from coworkers acknowledging inappropriate conduct by management toward Greer; one coworker reportedly told him directly that “Scott just has a problem with your face.”
In early August 2025, Greer was placed on what he describes as a “bogus performance plan” designed to justify his removal from the company. Despite successfully completing this plan, he was terminated later that month by Mr. Wilson. The stated reason for termination involved a conversation Greer had with the receptionist regarding disparaging comments made about both himself and her by management. The complaint contends this rationale is pretextual and that his dismissal was actually motivated by discriminatory intent related to his disability.
The legal filing asserts violations of rights protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It argues that CI Acworth Joint Venture regarded or perceived Greer as disabled and took adverse action against him because of this status—specifically citing termination as an act of discrimination prohibited by federal law.
As relief, Greer requests several forms of remedy from the court: damages for lost wages and benefits; general damages for mental and emotional suffering; declaratory judgment stating his rights were violated; punitive damages for alleged willful misconduct; reasonable attorneys’ fees; injunctive relief including reinstatement or front pay; and any additional relief deemed appropriate by the court.
The case is identified as Civil Action No. 1:26-cv-01580-ELR-JEM. Patrick Greer is represented by attorney V. Severin Roberts of The Workers’ Firm, LLC in Atlanta.
