I know of a guy here in Tampa who makes a career out of filing lawsuits. He goes from door to door looking for something to complain about.
Yep. He sues for an amount small enough that it would cost the business owner more in legal fees than the “damages”.
That was going on in Los Angeles about 5 or 10 years ago. I don’t know if it still goes on there or not, I mean with these same people. Two guys went into restaurant restrooms and measured the distance from the floor to the mirror, etc. If a person in a wheel chair couldn’t use it, they got sued, usually about $16K. They had a lawyer in on it. It was cheaper and easier to just pay the lawsuit. Happened all the time. I listened to KFI am radio and they were always talking about this group.
Yet when we went to Half Dome, owned by the Federal Government, there was no easy way to get to the top of Half Dome! No ramps etc. The feds are always blameless....
