Uber faces lawsuit for failing on disabled accessibility
Uber has yet another problem to deal with: it's been slapped with a lawsuit for not making its services more available to people with disabilities. A couple of wheelchair users from Jackson, Mississippi have filed the lawsuit, accusing Uber of violating Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Disabled Persons Act and California's unfair competition law. According to TechCrunch, the lawsuit states that "persons with disabilities in Jackson have no ability to call a wheelchair accessible vehicle or a specially trained driver through the Uber app" even if some of the company's drivers are capable of accommodating them.
