yes

But how would the Unruh claim interfere with the defendant's ability to comply?

Wow! I would have never interpreted that like that! Every time I think I am kind of starting to understand "lawyer speak" I am swiftly corrected :/ So I am the Defendent in this case, is there another way to say this in legal speak that would make more sense to me. I just don't understand how...

Ok, sorry, what does this mean also? "Plaintiff’s claims for damages in the Complaint are barred in whole or in part because Plaintiff’s injury or injuries, if any, was/were caused by third parties acting outside the scope of agency, employment or control of Defendant." Does this mean the...

Ok I have two new questions... first: My business rents a space in a building with a common parking lot maintained by the building owner. The parking lot has not been renovated or upgraded since before 2008. Are they subject to litigation if they do not include the "$250 fine" warning signs as...

What is the name of your state? California My business rents a space in a building with a common parking lot maintained by the building owner. The parking lot has not been renovated or upgraded since before 2008. Are they subject to litigation if they do not include the "$250 fine" warning signs...

Also, is there a way for me to see other cases that this lawyer has filed? I know how to search the plaintiffs name but not the lawyer. From what I understand if he files 10 or more of these same types of cases within 12 months there may be additional requirements that he needs to meet...he's...

Ok I looked at the other cases a little more and although they were filed within the last 2 months it looks like almost all of them were served around the same time as the one that was served to us (within the last 2 weeks) so none of them have responded yet, with the exception of 1...one of the...

Thank you! I didn't think about mimicking the format of the other cases responses! That's an excellent idea! Thank you.

Yes I believe i read the same article. I also read that one law firm had done it so many times without cause that it was basically being looked at as criminal activity and that another lawyer is taking up a RICO suit against them. Changes to the laws are being reviewed for this reason and...

Thank you so much for your response! Getting a lawyer is not an option right now, I am going to have to represent myself so the information is greatly appreciated! Yes the claim is that, due to the violations of the ADA, the clients rights have been violated and according to Unruh Civil Rights...

It's a Civil Suite filed with Superior Court of California in San Diego. I will look in to the insurance. Thank you.

Yes I agree. This guy has gone out and filed 8 of these lawsuits in the last 2 months and, based on an email I recieved from him, he is specifically hoping that we will settle. I don't want to do that. I have spoken to the ADA and according to the information I have from them, we are not in...

Am I? 36.302 (e)(1) looks to me to be about lodging...if I'm reading this wrong can you clarify what section he is referencing?

He is suing my business (a general partnership) and the building owner. His first claim is that his client was denied access to our services because we are on the second floor of a building that is not wheelchair accessible. His client never contacted us though, he just (allegedly) came to the...
