A consumer is suing Bards & Cards, apparently a retail store selling cards and related products, alleging that the company violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The plaintiff claims that Bards & Cards failed to provide equal access or reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities, which may relate to physical accessibility of their store locations, their website, or both. The lawsuit is brought as a class action on behalf of other individuals with disabilities who were similarly denied full and equal enjoyment of the company's goods or services. The case is being heard in federal court under federal question jurisdiction, meaning the claims arise directly from federal disability rights law rather than state law.
The case is in its earliest stage. The defendant has not yet responded. Class certification — the court's decision on whether the case can proceed as a class action — typically takes 12 to 24 months after filing.
