Over 20 years ago Scott Johnson, a lawyer, was a in a terrible accident caused by a drunk driver that left him paralyzed. Since 2003, Johnson has been a plaintiff in over 1,000 ADA lawsuits and won over $6 million in settlements. Johnson states “I’m an attorney and I enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act,” It’s been a law on the books now for 20 years.” With a team of assistants working with him, Johnson sends a written warning to business owners letting them know that they are in violation of ADA laws. If action is taken by the business owners to fix the problem, Johnson then takes action by filing a lawsuit.
I found this extremely interesting and incredible that one man can make such an impact. What do you think? Do you think he has taken it too far or should he continue on with lawsuits against companies that are not ADA compliant ?
