Derrick Anderson, a visually-impaired individual, has filed a class-action lawsuit against Engagement Marketing Gallery, LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the company’s website, Theconservatorynyc.com, is not accessible to blind and visually-impaired users, thus violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and New York state laws. Anderson claims that the website’s lack of accessibility features such as alternative text for images and keyboard navigation prevents him and others from fully utilizing the site to access information about products and services offered by Engagement Marketing Gallery. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction requiring the company to make its website accessible, along with compensatory damages for those affected by this alleged discrimination.
