Overview
This lawsuit challenges Defendant’s discriminatory business practices.
Specifically, Defendant’s Website (as defined infra) contained access barriers that prevented
Plaintiff, and other visually impaired and/or legally blind individuals like him, from purchasing
products thereon.
For sighted, blind, and visually impaired individuals, the internet has become a
significant source of information and entertainment, a tool for conducting business, and a means
of accomplishing countless everyday activities such as shopping, banking, and learning. In today’s
tech-savvy, instantaneous world of online commerce, blind and visually impaired people must
have the ability to access websites to enjoy the same convenience and savings allowed by online
shopping as sighted New Yorkers. The primary means by which they do so is via screen reading
software that vocalizes the visual information found on a computer screen.
