I am sure jcb is writing a blog about this law suit being settled

Jack, let's ride IASW in May.

The dude clearly has a smooth attorney, who knows that the ADA is flawed and unfair.

He has a history of doing this.

People like this give disabled people a bad reputation.

Maybe he will be a Segway with his $8000

Sorry, I don't buy it. No judge has to award anyone or their swanky lawyer anything.

The judge does not award anything, but Mr 30 lawsuits has plenty of billable hours to pay for. The attorney gets his piece of the pie eventually.

No disrespect to good attorneys, like Jack.

The boat was not sinking.
The building was not on fire.

I am personally disgusted by this whole thing.

School is in the way in April. I can't get down there, but I become a Florida resident this summer.

s. Martinez has filed and settled over 30 civil suits alleging ADA violations and including claims for emotional distress. In no one of these suits did Martinez recover any monies for emotional distress, although he recovered statutory damages and obtained injunctive relief in most of these suits.

This is the real issue. Like Jack said, if he was truly suffering an attack he had his meds available but CHOSE not to use them. There isn't much more disgusting than a professional claimant (or in this case, professional plaintiff).

Whatever you feel about the case, Skip, I heartily object to the idea that one person's claim makes an entire class of people look bad. I don't assume that every disabled person files lawsuits whenever they feel like it, and assuming that people feel that way is going overboard.

If I owned a business, I would be afraid of the ADA and people taking advantage of it.

I know this because I have talked to general managers and business owners about this.

He has settled lawsuit after lawsuit. This makes disabled people look bad! I truly feel sorry for any business that has to deal with people like this.

Well said
