To Onejanedoe2003. I Am so very sorry that you or someone you know are handicapped, And you think every one else should kiss your or there ass
because of it. I am 6' 10" tall and I have to bend over to see into the mirrors for the handicapped.
So should I file a lawsuit to have them raised or have a special one put in for me and other tall people. I too think the restaurant owner should have been given notice to have the problem fixed, And a follow up inspection to make sure it was done.

I didnt read all the comments on here, but i never heard anything in the video that told me this was even a disabled person, and I can tell you coming from a family member of a disabled person, this was probably NOT a disabled person that made this complaint.

maybe they should install a VERY VERY VERY LOUD speaker so they dont get sued by deaf people who want to make an order ?

No one is saying he shouldn't have fixed the problem. It's just ridiculous that something as small as a mirror missing the mark by two inches requires a lawsuit, thousands of dollars, and tax payer time and money to fix. You can't tell me that the simpler, more correct thing to do would have been for the costumer to approach someone in management, tell them the mirror needs adjustment, and let them fix it. Going to directly to a lawyer was totally uneccesary.

Then let's get rid of the Civil Act while we are at it! That too has brought massive lawsuits by Jackson and Sharpton. OH! buts that justified. NOT!

My only problem with this is that had this of been an offended minority, this would have never have been made public. Alas, because it is a disabled person, well let's just spill the beans and make them feel intimidated. Disabled people deserves the same consideration that everyone else in our society does.

In his own words the owner confesses that the mirror was put on without even checking to see if it was accessible to all. That is why the Disabled Act was created, to ensure that disabled persons are treated fairly. Deal with it and remember, it isn't just minorities you have to consider when opening a business to the public.

it's being publicized because it's a frivolous lawsuit. it defeats the purpose of the disabilities act, because a lawsuit like this could cost enough money to close the restaurant, and then no one, not even a disabled person could enjoy the restaurant. moreover, compliance with a building code should be enforced by the city, not by lawyers. this is part of a series of videos about abuse of lawsuits, so your "problem" doesn't really make sense.

There need to be restrictions on how lawsuits are applied. Unless there is a physical injury involved, a business owner should at least be given the chance to correct a mistake such as this before a costly lawsuit can be forwarded.
