My wife was wheel chair bound for a while after her stroke and now walks with a cane. I have found that businesses will usually do whatever it takes to make sure her experience is as good as anyone’s. I think these kind of legal actions are just grabs for attention and/or $$$$.

Bingo! Thank you! You said it better and in fewer words than I did.

Any business worth its salt will do whatever it can to accommodate any customer.

Exactly, I know a blind guy who goes up in his attic to run cables. he doesn’t let much slow him down. A company doesn’t/can’t make changes to accommodate him then he goes elsewhere.

The other blind guy sued Target because their website didn’t support access by blind people. This sets a precedent that every website should have to be 508 compliant adding tremendous cost. I think its still in appeal.
