COOKCOUNTYRECORD: Lawsuit: McDonald's website, mobile app not accessible to the blind, violates ADA
An interesting court case has recently surfaced about how the McDonald's website and mobile app violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A man from Chicago has filed a lawsuit against McDonald's claiming they have discriminated against him because they have not made their website and mobile app accessible for people who have visual impairments. The website and app are not compatible with screen readers. The plaintiff is asking the court to order McDonald's to work with a consultant to redesign the resources to be accessible for those who use screen readers. He is also seeking compensatory damages.
