Serial Plaintiff + ADA Lawsuits = A Lucrative Cottage Industry

“To me, it’s extortion pure and simple,” said owner Mark Rogers. “If I was incorrect in something I would want to fix it. If you gave me a ticket and said, you’ve got seven days, 14 days, whatever it may be, I’d do it gladly. That’s a win for me, a win for the handicapped person. But right now it’s only a win for somebody who is laughing at the court system, which isn’t right.”

They are detectable warning surfaces, and they are designed to alert pedestrians who are blind or have low vision to the presence of a hazard, such as the road where cars travel. But they are also required on open boarding platforms in rail stations, and they discourage all people from standing too close to the edge when waiting for a train or subway, enhancing safety for everyone.
