Florida is one of the top states for ADA Title III
filings. As we previously reported, in 2015, California, Florida, New
York, Texas, and Arizona had 3,847 ADA Title III lawsuits.
This accounts for 80% of the lawsuits filed nationwide.
Businesses are complaining, and the news media is paying
attention. Miami Local 10 News, an ABC affiliate, reported on
the surge of ADA Title III lawsuits nationwide and three local
small businesses that were sued by a serial plaintiff who filed
more than a hundred and thirty lawsuits in 2015.
Seyfarth's ADA Title III Team Leader, Minh Vu,
provided legal commentary for the story in an interview with reporter Christina
Vazquez.
