I saw a video about lawyers cruising around town in the USA looking for minor infractions at businesses, so they can sue them and make a profit. That's obviously not what the law was meant for and I don't think this bill is unreasonable at all. Seems like a bunch of lawyer sharks abused the law to line their pockets.
Unless I'm missing out on something here.
"“[Frivolous] ADA lawsuits…are not an ADA issue; they are a state and court problem,” disability rights lawyer Robyn Powell wrote in an op-ed for Rewire in May 2017. “Indeed, ethics rules bar attorneys from bringing frivolous lawsuits. Rather than go after people with disabilities, attention should be focused on stopping these few bad attorneys.”"
Seems to have a point
It’s worse that that even. They’re out cruising websites for ADA compliance and suing businesses out of existence.
