In a recent court filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Frangie Espinal, on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, has filed a class action lawsuit against Shift Robotics, Inc. The complaint alleges that Shift Robotics’ website is not accessible to visually-impaired individuals, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other state laws. Espinal, who is legally blind, claims that the website’s lack of compatibility with screen-reading software prevents her from accessing information and services available to sighted users. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction requiring Shift Robotics to make its website fully accessible to visually-impaired consumers and demands compensatory damages for the alleged discrimination.
