Brann & Isaacson Lawyers Obtain Dismissals of Two More ADA Website Accessibility Cases

Category:

Brann & Isaacson lawyers, Peter Brann and Hanna Wurgaft, obtained dismissals in two more ADA website accessibility cases in New York and California, on behalf of TackleDirect and JP Boden. In the New York case, they filed a motion to dismiss, and the plaintiff’s counsel, Mizrahi Kroub, which files more of these cases in New York than anyone else, without prior notice, dismissed the case with prejudice before the court could rule on the motion. In the California case, they informed the plaintiff that they intended to move to dismiss, and the plaintiff immediately dismissed the matter. Neither TackleDirect nor JP Boden paid anything to settle these cases. Brann & Isaacson lawyers have obtained dismissal or filed papers that led to the dismissal of four ADA website accessibility cases in 2022.

“We represent large and small retailers across the country that strive to make their websites accessible, but increasingly are sick and tired of being treated like an ATM by plaintiffs looking for a quick, cheap settlement, and thus are fighting back,” Brann explained. “It is telling that again and again, when faced with real opposition, these plaintiffs choose instead to walk away rather than pursue these claims.”
