ADA Violation

Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Access Living of Metropolitan Chicago, et al., v. Uber Technologies, Inc., et al.,
Case No.: 19-2116
Officials: EASTERBROOK, ROVNER, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.
Focus: ADA Violation
Whether the Americans with Disabilities Act’s public accommodation provisions apply to ridesharing companies like Uber is unsettled. The lawsuit underlying this appeal presents that question and the many complexities that come with considering Uber’s business model and the discrimination proscribed by the ADA. Before us are antecedent questions about whether certain plaintiffs—a disability rights advocacy organization called Access Living as well as an individual named Rahnee Patrick—have alleged injuries sufficient to show Article III standing and to state causes of action under § 12188(a)(1) of Title III of the ADA. The district court answered no for both plaintiffs. We affirm.
