[blindlaw] Guide Dogs at Work and Insurance

[Tai Tomasi]

I haven’t found a case that specifically addresses the liability concern, but here is a good starting point with an overview of what is appropriate. This blog entry includes citations to cases.

I assume so, but can you give me a statutory citation or case law that I can
provide to HR that makes this clear?

My workplace just adopted a service animal policy. As part of that
policy,
they are demanding that I provide a certificate of personal liability
insurance for my guide dog. I do not believe this is legal, and I have
never had aworkplace or other institution demand this. Can anyone confirm
the legality of this? (I should probably email NAGDU as well.)
