Cedar Point Sued for ADA Violations by Alleged "Lawyer Mill" · Mar 16, 01:37 PM
The “Disabled Patriots of America” and an individual plaintiff, one Michael Miles, has sued Cedar Point alleging a laundry list of ADA violations. See the complaint here.
The “Disabled Patriots” is, according to at least one news report, an entity set up for the purpose of bringing ADA suits, often with minimal violations but still with the possibility of fee-shifting, where the defendant will have to pay the fees of the attorneys for the plaintiff. The Cedar Point suit was brought by one of the same two attorneys that press coverage indicates the claims are always brought by, Larry Fuller.
According to the same story, Fuller, Fuller and Associates (Danger! Annoying audio! but a funny picture of a judge to make up for it) was once sanctioned when their client, who was alleged to be quadriplegic, walked into his own deposition.
Of course, none of that necessarily means that Cedar Point is in compliance in all ways, minor or major, and there are no doubt things that could be improved. But it’s worth observing the context.

If you go to the Fuller website, they have a link to the “American with Disabilities”, but when you click on it it says “coming soon…” Funny how they are proponents for the disabled, but no one can view the laws?
