In a recent legal filing, Emanuel Delacruz has initiated a class action lawsuit against Boggi New York LLC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiff, who is visually impaired and legally blind, alleges that Boggi’s website is not accessible to individuals with disabilities, thereby violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Delacruz claims that the website’s design prevents him and others from accessing goods and services equally compared to non-disabled users. The complaint seeks a permanent injunction to compel Boggi to modify its website policies and practices to ensure accessibility for visually impaired consumers. The lawsuit also invokes New York State Human Rights Law, New York City Human Rights Law, and General Business Law § 349, seeking compensatory damages and legal fees.
