Dear blind people who willingly and enthusiastically assisted the law firms conducting so-called drive-by accessibility lawsuits, just so you could make a little extra cash. I hope you enjoyed the gravy train, because you have helped imperil all our civil rights as a result. Thanks for a ton of nothing. You’d better hope HR620 doesn’t pass the senate. And if it passes the senate, you’d better hope that Donald Trump decides not to sign it. If it gets to the president, I’m not holding my breath. The Trump Organization has been sued eight different times over ADA violations. So, I hope those $1,000 checks you got per settlement you participated in were worth it.
I actually think that indirectly, this activity might increase now. More class actions can be filed since there will be more time to assemble a class after the notification period.
The NFB is one of the biggest culprits in this practice. The stereotype exists for a reason. Have gone to convention and they literally brag about how many people they’ve sued. It’s sickening.
It’s a possibility. But what we don’t need in this arena is more chaos.
The NFB, as an organization, is actually not part of this. The membership has not been encouraged to participate in this. And I’m saying that as a very staunch NFB critic.
Hmm. I’m not sure I follow exactly. Surely the fact that it happens at all reflects poorly on the org as a whole though?
I’m a bit out of the loop. What are “drive-by accessability” law suits?
