Agreed, had they sent a warning first that they're going to sue unless they fix it up first it would have been a completely different story. Then they'd actually try to better the community without the witch hunt, and not go after businesses money for at least trying to keep it up to par. Going after them for the money alone without a warning first seems to me as abuse.

I really don't like that bull with the van signs. Grocery store in town had a bunch of van only signs put up on all of the handicap spots because of a law change limiting space marked like that to only vans. Now there are a lot of people who can no longer use handicap spaces and some of them really need it despite not having a van. Like my grandfather has his motorized wheelchair on the back of his truck and now he can't use the handicapped spaces.

Incorrect. Most individuals like myself who are disabled do put complaints in and never see any change. Most complaints about accessibility are because of fat able bodied people taking our parking spots or there are legit spots throughout the city that aren’t accessible. Side note: there are individuals in my community that have jobs specifically to help people with disabilities to get around in lifer with less complications so we can have a somewhat normal life. Before speaking your opinion make sure your opinion has been thoroughly thought out.

Then what’s the problem with warning first like the other guy said before you sue. Didn’t you see the whole story? The group that was suing other companies wasn’t even in compliance themselves. If that’s not the definition of “calling the kettle black” then I don’t know what is. If your going to advocate for people with disabilities, you better make sure you are the SHINING LIGHT of disability compliance. Do you agree?

He would then contact his "Attorney" (more likely a co-conspirator) and file an ADA suit. After about three of these suits, the Judge declared him to be a "vexatious litigant" and barred him from filing lawsuits. His "Attorney" was dis-barred and he slinked away, back to his sewer

It would be one thing if what they did caused changes and took ZERO monetary benefit. To threaten a lawsuit unless you “settle” is called extortion.
@aardque
@aardque 2 жыл бұрын
Um no. Extortion is to threaten financially, with nude photos, locked computer malware, etc. A lawsuit implies you have already broken the law and the plaintiff must resort to the court for redress. A lawsuit is a very expensive procedure, for me to be compensated for my loss and since "you" were at fault and refused to compensate until I had the court PROVE your fault, those costs are your burden. It is reasonable and prudent for the plaintiff to offer to settle. Finally, look at circumstances. In nearly every case, litigants pay the much lower costs to come into compliance, than the cost to settle. AID itself can't bring itself into compliance, cannot bear to be scrutinized publicly without hurling MAGA like insults at the local media outlet, cannot pay their field agents enough for adequate clothing and surveillance. AID is barely staying afloat.

@@krane15 we will proceed carefully, because this can get confusing. Right now, you are confusing "civil law," with "criminal law." Many of the rules above still apply, right down to being reasonable and prudent. I will elaborate. Ok "lesser charges," is not an attempt to win a lawsuit, without going to court. Criminal law, is advocacy driven, meaning the state automatically _assumes_ guilt. This is a big mistake people make about police, it is why they say, never talk to police without representation, because police are charged with gathering evidence to support a prosecution. When the state offers lesser charges, it is a signal that the defendant has won. It says, "the state believes, in its heart, that you are guilty, but prosecution of that charge does not serve the taxpayers interest." Therefore, the state offers a "compromise," that only fools - and railroaded people, take.

been in a wheelchair since 1999 and i understand what its like to not be able to get around a business. but this is just taking it way to far. c'mon, the sign height? really? i could understand if the ramp was super steep or just not having a ramp at all. ugh.. stupid people trying to live off the back of tax payers and cripples.

I've been disabled my whole life and I was just about to leave a comment like yours, so I appreciate that. I use a chair and getting around a lot of public places is not fun! The thing that bothers me more than that is that people like this are taking something that is meant to give the average disabled person a voice to speak up about the lack of accessibility and they are profiting off of it. You know what's going to happen? They're going to take the voice away from disabled people are there going to make it harder for us to Use it. These people, the ones that are actually doing something wrong we'll get away scot-free.

I've seen someone park across three (YES, THREE) handicap spaces, called the cops, and they made it seem like I was they bad guy. If you can't park properly, you shouldn't be driving a giant self propelled slab of metal. Also, not always clear what someone's disability is, plenty of other stuff can go wrong besides being in a wheelchair.

This is about putting money in certain people's pockets at the expense of ruining lives. The lawyer admitted that he can sue without ever going into the establishment. If they were truly concerned then a business should have a reasonable amount of time to fix issues that were NOT pointed out at the inspection prior to opening. Everyone of these should go to court and film the outcome of the judges decision with the ability to counter sue. Otherwise, 100,000 businesses will be like how LA is now, boarded up.
