CALIFORNIA IS THE TOP TARGET FOR ADA TITLE III LAWSUITS

More ADA Lawsuits are filed in California than all the other states combined. One major reason for this is that under the Unruh Act, a plaintiffs can be awarded treble damages for every incident of discrimination, if they have suffered a personal injury. Proof of an actual injury does not have to be provided, if the reason for the personal injury is as a result of a barrier to access for the disabled party.
