Opinion
WERDEGAR, J.
Plaintiff, a disabled employee, resigned from her job after a five-year period during which she claimed her employer was unwilling to effectively accommodate her disability. She sued her employer for disability discrimination and harassment, and the jury found in her favor, awarding substantial sums as damages to compensate for severe emotional distress and lost salary. Many of the incidents of disability discrimination *802introduced at trial occurred outside the one-year limitations period for filing Fair Employment and Housing Act actions. (Gov. Code, § 12960.)1
