Slew of lawsuits over disability access frustrates US cafe and shop owners
U.S. small‑business owners claim a surge of lawsuits alleging disability‑access violations is unfairly targeting them, while disability advocates insist such claims are necessary to enforce compliance. The Guardian reports that many cafés and shops face legal action over issues like inaccessible entrances, inadequate seating, and insufficient signage. Owners argue the lawsuits create financial strain, but advocates stress the importance of equal access for all patrons.
