[blindlaw] FW: NY blind woman's suit over menus

[dlmlaw at sbcglobal.net]

Myself, I rarely ever walk to any restaurant.  I usually travel to 
restaurants with my wife, another family member or a friend.  It has been my 
experience that the person willing to take me to eat is also willing to read 
a menu for me.  Otherwise, any person in an identifiable class (whether 
blind, deaf, crippled, etc.), who takes this type of action, only makes 
enemies for us all when they file lawsuits simply because they can.
