Miami Subs Corporation’s website, Miamisubs.com, is at the center of a proposed class action that alleges it contains access barriers that prevent blind and visually impaired users from being able to independently browse the sandwich seller’s online offerings. From the lawsuit:

“In order to efficiently and effectively navigate websites, [the plaintiff] uses a screen reader program to access the internet and read internet content using a computer. However, despite multiple attempts to navigate Miamisubs.com, [the plaintiff] has been denied the full use and enjoyment of the facilities, good, and services offered by Miami Subs Restaurants as a result of accessibility barriers on the website, Miamisubs.com.”

The complaint, citing possible Americans with Disabilities Act issues, argues that the alleged access barriers found on Miamisubs.com have deterred the plaintiff from visiting the defendant’s brick-and-mortar locations.
